The Harry Bertoia Catalogue Raisonné

The Catalogue is a digital resource created by the Harry Bertoia Foundation and dedicated to documenting the work of Harry Bertoia (1915-1978). This online Open Access publication is intended to increase access to Bertoia's vast and diverse artistic practice, offering in-depth information on his work in design, sculpture, Sonambient, and two-dimensional media. The catalogue is designed as a “living” document and is updated regularly with new research.
