Magritte's extensive oeuvre was documented in a comprehensive five-volume project, led by distinguished art critic and writer David Sylvester, the final volume of which was published in 1997. The Fondation Magritte, established a committee to verify the authenticity of newly discovered works as well as those previously recorded as whereabouts unknown or listed as appendix items in the original volumes of the René Magritte Catalogue Raisonné.
René Magritte: Newly Discovered Works includes colour illustrations of 130 previously unpublished or unknown works authenticated by the Fondation Magritte between September 2000 and March 2010. Like its predecessors, this volume is the culmination of years of research, which synthesises new discoveries about the artworks and details of the life of Magritte himself.
Accompanying text and comparative documentation provide a wealth of complementary information, including the circumstances of a works discovery, references to letters, quotations in their original languages, and citations from previous volumes.
