Scope of the Catalogue Raisonné
The Catalogue Raisonné of Erik Brunetti reflects the multidisciplinary character of Brunetti’s practice and its movement across studio production, graphic systems, publishing, apparel, and cultural intervention.
The project distinguishes autonomous artworks, editions, archival evidence, production materials, and commercially distributed objects while preserving the historical relationships between them.
Areas of Research
The current scope encompasses:
Graffiti-period works produced under the name “Den” during the late 1980s
Paintings, drawings, sculpture, installation, and other studio works
Prints, editions, multiples, and collaborative productions
Original FUCT graphics, mechanicals, prototypes, and selected production materials from 1990 onward
Artist books, publications, posters, and printed matter
Preparatory studies, working drawings, source materials, and process documentation
Correspondence, photographs, records, and other primary-source materials relevant to authorship, chronology, provenance, or exhibition history
Not every item reviewed by the Foundation will receive an individual catalogue entry. Certain materials may instead be documented as archival records, contextual materials, related works, production variants, or components of a larger body of work.
Research Standards
Works and materials are evaluated through available primary and corroborating evidence, which may include:
Direct examination of the work
Studio records and archival inventories
Signatures, inscriptions, labels, stamps, and identifying marks
Technical and material characteristics
Photographs documenting production, studio history, installation, or exhibition
Invoices, receipts, correspondence, shipping records, and ownership documentation
Exhibition catalogues, publications, and contemporaneous press
Information supplied by collectors, collaborators, printers, publishers, fabricators, galleries, and institutions
Comparison with documented works and established bodies of production
The Foundation may request additional documentation or physical examination when the available evidence is incomplete.
Submission or review does not guarantee inclusion. Catalogue decisions will be based on the totality of the available evidence and the scholarly standards established for the project.
