Our Mission

---

We are a non-profit 501(c)3 organisation devoted to promoting research and scholarship on the artist Amedeo Modigliani (1884-1920). 

We are currently focussing on:

1. Filling a very sophisticated, state-of-the-art software system with scientific data; object info; biographical information; exhibition and auction catalogue references on Modigliani.
2. Launching a Catalogue Raisonné of the artist, giving priority to the valid yet hitherto unacknowledged paintings by his hand.

• Submit your potential Modigliani artwork to our Spring meeting here. 

• We are holding our next Committee Meeting of experts in March 2024. Our experts are brilliant, knowledgeable individuals with decades of experience with Modigliani paintings, drawings and sculptures.

• Important dates: by 31st December 2023, Submission Forms and Fees should have been sent to us. Try to arrange by this date to send your painting to our Research Scientist in New York (contact name and info to be provided after we receive your Submission Form and Fee) to have your painting tested using pigment analysis, x-ray, infrared, and the very latest techniques and research available.

• We know of certain techniques that are specific to Modigliani.  We also use Canvas Weave Analysis to learn if your painting comes from the same canvas roll as known Modigliani paintings. It is important that you start the process as early as possible to avoid scheduling conflicts with our Research Scientist and the Art Warehouse that co-ordinates our meetings.

• Our Modigliani Drawings Research Service is launched! Please check our new section for all details and instructions.

• Dr Kenneth Wayne recently curated the exhibition Modigliani and the Modern Portrait at the Nassau County Museum of Art, New York. The show included works newly accepted by the committee. The catalogue is available for sale via the museum store. With many photos and paintings, it also contains original essays with new discussions of Modigliani and his art, as well as information on contemporary artists and how they were inspired by Modigliani.
