Rene Magritte (1898-1967) was a surrealist artist whose
thought-provoking works used ordinary objects to challenge how
viewers perceived reality. His extensive oeuvre was documented in a
comprehensive five-volume project, led by distinguished art critic
and writer David Sylvester. In the years that followed the
publication of the final volume in 1997, numerous works purporting
to be by Magritte appeared on the art market. Under the auspices of
the Fondation Magritte, a committee was established 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 Rene Magritte Catalogue Raisonne. Rene
Magritte: Newly Discovered Works includes color illustrations of
130 previously unpublished or unknown works authenticated by the
committee between September 2000 and March 2010. Like its
predecessors, this volume is the culmination of years of research,
which synthesizes 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 work's discovery, references to
letters, quotations in their original languages, and citations from
previous volumes. Distributed for Mercatorfonds
