Catalogue Raisonné
di Arnaldo Pomodoro

Il Catalogue Raisonné di Arnaldo Pomodoro è il portale web ad accesso gratuito dedicato alla catalogazione dell’opera di Arnaldo Pomodoro, un progetto che si pone in continuità con il lavoro dell’Archivio dell’artista e del portale dell’Online Archive.

Arnaldo Pomodoro has declined his expressive personality not only in the sphere of sculpture, but also in contiguous worlds – theater, architecture, design – in more than one case inaugurating true original strands of research and experience, open to the overall spectrum of visual production. The cataloguing of the artist's work has therefore been divided into eight distinct sections: Sculptures, Drawings, Multiples, Set design, Jewelry, Project Studies, Graphics, Applied Arts.

To complement the cataloging of the works, the Catalogue Raisonné online also offers its users four apparatus sections: the Chronology, which documents the most significant events relating to Pomodoro's artistic career; the Exhibitions, dedicated to the solo and group exhibitions in which Pomodoro participated; the Bibliography, which systematically documents all monographs, books, newspapers and magazines, exhibition catalogs, auction catalogs and miscellaneous publications dealing with the artist's work; and the Public Collections, a tracing of Pomodoro's many works placed in public spaces around the world.
