Giorgio de Chirico Vol 1

This first volume of Giorgio de Chirico’s Catalogo Generale, published in 2014, comprises 450 artworks dating from 1912 to 1976. It includes paintings and works on paper authenticated and dated by the Authentication Committee of the Fondazione Giorgio e Isa de Chirico. Unexpected elements come to light in the material published here for the first time. The documentation of these works, many of which are little-known or totally unknown, makes a substantial contribution to the continuing scholarly study of the artist’s oeuvre. The catalog includes an introductory essay by Claudio Strinati, a foreword by Paolo Picozza, President of Fondazione Giorgio et Isa de Chirio, a brief biography on the artist, and a summary of the Foundation’s activity. The works reproduced here were not included in Claudio Bruni Sakraischik’s original multi-volume catalogue raisonné published between 1971 and 1987.
