What is a Reasoned Catalogue

A Reasoned Catalogue is an exhaustive, annotated listing of all the known artworks by an artist either in a specific medium or all media. The works are portrayed so that they might be dependably distinguished by third parties.

There are numerous varieties, both more extensive and smaller than “all the works" or “one artist.” The parameters might be confined to one kind of fine art by one artist or augmented to all the works by a group of artists.

It can take numerous years to finish a Reasoned Catalogue, and huge groups of researcher’s work on the task. For instance, in 2013 the Dedalus Foundation (set up by the unique expressionist painter Robert Motherwell) reported that it took them eleven years to finish the three-volume list raisonné of Motherwell’s work which was distributed by Yale University Press in 2012, with roughly 25 individuals adding to the undertaking.

Early models comprised of two particular parts, a life story and the catalogue itself. The modern version is the basic list which may contain individual perspectives on the author.
