From Myth to Method: Reimagining the Catalogue Raisonné

Pace Gallery, 540 West 25th Street, 7th floor

Thursday, April 30, 2026 | 9:30am-5pm
Comprising a series of panels on catalogues raisonnés—including their various uses as resources for art world professionals across the industry and future directions for research and authentication methodologies—this symposium at Pace’s 540 West 25th Street gallery in New York will center on new ways of thinking about how these publications can be produced and utilized, offering perspectives and insights from scholars and experts in several fields. It will follow the publication of art historian Marc Restellini's new Amedeo Modigliani catalogue raisonné, which will be released on April 21 and distributed by Yale University Press.

The symposium is organized in partnership with Institut Restellini and with support from Yale University Press, La Société Internationale des Catalogues Raisonnés (CRIS), and Cahiers d’Art Institute, alongside media partner Puck News. It is part of Pace’s multifaceted collaboration with the Institut Restellini, which will culminate with a major exhibition of Modigliani’s work at its gallery in New York in 2027. Curated by Marc Restellini, this presentation will highlight the newly authenticated works in the catalogue raisonné, featuring loans from international museums.

Speakers will include Pace CEO Marc Glimcher; Marc Restellini; Tiffany Bell, Editor of the Agnes Martin Catalogue Raisonné; Ekaterina Bembel, President of La Société Internationale des Catalogues Raisonnés (CRIS); David Grosz, Editorial Director and Chief Digital Officer of Cahiers d'Art Institute; Christopher Kermorvant, CEO of Teklia; Marion Maneker, Special Correspondent in art for Puck News; Atreya Mathur, Director of Legal Research at the Center for Art Law in New York; Laili Nasr, Contributing Author for Mark Rothko: The Works on Paper Online Resource and Catalogue Raisonné; and Satoko Tanimoto, Senior Research Scientist at Scientific Analysis of Fine Art (SAFA) in New York.
A full list of participants will be announced in the coming weeks.
