In the spring of 2021, the WPI launched Paul Gauguin: Paintings, 1891–1903, a monumental online publication that serves as the first and highly-anticipated release of the Gauguin Catalogue Raisonné. Paul Gauguin: Paintings, 1889-1891, an additional installment to the Gauguin digital catalogue raisonné with text by Sylvie Crussard, is forthcoming.
Additionally, the WPI is working in close collaboration with the Estate of Tom Wesselmann to produce the Tom Wesselmann Digital Catalogue Raisonné. Prior to publication of the first installment, the WPI has launched an online initiative called the Tom Wesselmann Digital Corpus. This searchable database incorporates the WPI’s ongoing research for the forthcoming digital catalogue raisonné and is freely available for public use as of June 2020. The state-of-the-art tech platform and public interface–developed in close collaboration with a German tech team–allow for complex research queries and facilitate access to a wider breadth of resources.

The WPI continues to compile information for the following catalogue raisonné projects: Romare Bearden, Claude Monet, Edouard Manet, Albert Marquet, Camille Pissarro, Odilon Redon, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and Kees Van Dongen. We invite you to revisit our website periodically for updates on these projects. We also encourage you to browse through our selection of digitized catalogue raisonnés available under Legacy Publications.
In addition to ongoing digital projects, the WPI has produced select print publications that draw from archival material and exemplify our commitment to scholarly research. Since its founding in 2016, the WPI has published the acclaimed five-volume Jasper Johns: Catalogue Raisonné of Painting and Sculpture, as well as the reprint of its first volume, Roberta Bernstein’s monograph, Jasper Johns: Redo an Eye. In May 2020, the WPI released its latest print publication: The Letters of Edgar Degas, edited by Theodore Reff. This essential three-volume reference on the artist offers an indispensable resource to anyone interested in Degas, Impressionism, or 19th-century French history and literature and is distributed by Penn State University Press.
