Modigliani investigation

Palais des Beaux-Arts, Brussels, 1933

Amedeo Modigliani — investigation file

The Brussels exhibition of 1933 brought together American and European loans from the principal collections of the period. Maud Dale (Chester Dale) assisted the organisation.

The patronage committee included Alexandre, Basler, Duveen, Dale, Utrillo and other principal names then associated with the oeuvre.
A reduced version of the same exhibition later travelled to Basel.


The printed numbering runs 1–88 for paintings; from no. 89 the list mixes drawings and miscellaneous objects without a separate heading.
