The catalogue raisonné of the œuvre of Massimo Campigli (1895-1971) is the result of Nicola Campigli’s forty years of patient research in libraries and museums throughout the world. He runs the Campigli Archives with the help of Eva and Marcus Weiss.
This volume illustrates the artist’s output and sets it in a historical context through over two thousand works. These include unfinished pieces and sketches for paintings that were never executed or were discarded, of which there remains a trace, albeit faint.
It is a fitting tribute to one of the best-represented Italian artists in the world, whose works are held by the most prestigious international museums including the Centre Pompidou in Paris, MoMA in New York and the Hermitage in Saint Petersburg.
