After many years of work, the Catalogue Raisonné of Gérard Schneider is now available to consult online. A significant milestone in our understanding of the artist's work, this publication is the result of painstaking efforts that involved collecting and sorting many archives, as well as cross-checking and making good use of the information concerned.

In the context of Gérard Schneider's body of work, the authors have first sought to document his paintings (on canvas or panels) and works on paper; these will be joined by prints, tapestries and other works such as mosaics and volume-based creations in a second phase.

The Catalogue Raisonné is a fundamental tool for collectors, dealers, auction houses, art historians, curators and students. This documented inventory enables us to appreciate all the known works by the artist, which is essential in order to judge the importance and historical significance of his body of work and to trace the history of each artwork.

For the Catalogue Raisonné of Gérard Schneider, the publisher and the authors have opted for a 100% digital publication, which will be accessible to all at any time. The Catalogue Raisonné is a “living” knowledge base that can be updated with new information on a daily basis. The use of a digital format offers access to the most precise information possible and thus enables a real dialogue between the works and their owners. This relationship - which is as contemporary as it gets! - is a reflection of Gérard Schneider's work: being both eminently rich and dynamic.
