Parachute by William BazoitesThe William Baziotes Catalogue Raisonné project was initiated with the curatorial research conducted for the Guggenheim exhibition in Venice. The objective is to document all of the artist’s paintings and works on paper, including watercolors and drawings.

This documentation will include title, date, media, size, inscriptions and images. Provenance, a record of the various owners of the work from creation to present, will also be researched.

In detailing provenance, it is understood that some owners may not wish to be identified by name. In such cases, their anonymity will be secured and the phrase “Private Collection” will be used.

Finding works requires research bordering on investigation. Unfortunately, some images exist without provenance or ownership information. Some works disappeared after auction sales. Hopefully, they will be uncovered and documented.

If you are the owner of a Baziotes' work on paper or painting, or have significant photographs or memorabilia that might be important to the project, I would appreciate your completing the Catalogue Raisonné Submission Form.
