Catalogue Raisonné

The Erik Brunetti Foundation for the Arts has initiated formal preparatory work on the Catalogue Raisonné of Erik Brunetti (b. 1967). This long-term scholarly project will document more than three decades of artistic and cultural production across painting, drawing, sculpture, installation, printmaking, editions, graphic systems, and selected archival and process materials.

The project will also address the foundational FUCT project, established in Los Angeles in 1990, as a distinct field of multidisciplinary production encompassing original graphics, mechanicals, prototypes, printed matter, and related cultural material.

A catalogue raisonné establishes the documented record of an artist’s work. Through sustained archival research and primary-source verification, it supports chronology, attribution, provenance, exhibition history, and the relationship between individual works and the broader conditions of their production.

The project extends the Foundation’s ongoing documentation of the FUCT Archive, the Marfa Field Record, the Oval Parody series, and extensive bodies of paintings, drawings, prints, editions, and archival material. Its purpose is not simply to compile objects, but to preserve the evidentiary structure through which authorship, historical context, and artistic continuity may be understood.

Research, archive consolidation, and preliminary cataloguing are currently underway. The catalogue will be developed in phases as additional works, records, and primary-source materials become available.

Institutions, collectors, former collaborators, publishers, printers, fabricators, photographers, and researchers holding relevant works or documentation are invited to contact the Foundation.
