GIOVANNI SCHEIWILLER (+ 1965)

    • - Italian editor and compiler; his first Modigliani publication appeared in 1927.
      Some of his identifications remain in later catalogues; others were not retained.
      He was an editor first for others (U. Hoepli editore)and later he had his own company mainly in art with a collection that gave light to many almost unknown works
      under the name: Arte Moderna Italiana .

      Works associated with his publications include:

    Auction notes still cite the name when a Ceroni number is also present.

    A painting documented only by Scheiwiller is not treated as sufficient by the major auction houses.
    Definitively not a reliable source for cataloging.
