## Resource

In the spring of 2026 a new Modigliani catalogue raisonne was published. It was the first catalogue raisonne to include a painting previous not attributed to the artist in question, now authenticated using AI. It is one of the countless examples of symbiosis, when the connoisseur and the AI image analysis agree. But the catalogue opens up other questions--some 15 works attributed to Modigliani in past catalogues were downgraded, no longer considered his work, while some 100 others were added, a huge number for an artist for whom a single work can command millions. To discuss this, I invited Carina Popovici, founder of Art Recognition, and Georgina Adam, an acclaimed British art journalist specializing in the art market.
