There are now three published volumes of the catalogue raisonné.
Volume I (1958 - 1971) was published in 2016. It was the first-ever catalogue raisonné to be compiled of any Indian artist. It was our pleasure that Sayed Haider Raza got to see the publication before his passing in the summer of that year. Both Volume I and Volume II contain several hundred artworks together with illustrations of each and information about the provenance, literature and exhibitions that they were featured in. This volume is currently sold out.
Volume II (1971 - 1989) was published in 2022. To purchase a copy please click here
Volume V (2011 - 2016) was published in 2024. With The Raza Foundation’s comprehensive cataloguing of his works during this time while Raza was in New Delhi, this volume was able to be completed in a shorter time. To purchase a copy please click here
There are plans to publish further volumes over the coming years. With such a long artistic career and with over three and a half thousand works currently on file in various stages of completion it has, and continues to be, a lengthy process.
Early Works (1940 - 1957)
Volume III (1990 - 1999)
Volume IV (2000 - 2010)
As well as revised editions of those already published.
We therefore continue to look for the help of collectors, institutions, galleries and auctions houses to support our endeavour. We encourage them to contact us about the works they hold or have sold, to add, confirm, or rectify the information we hold.
The aim is to be able to present a compendium of volumes covering an oeuvre of over seven decades which will establish beyond doubt the works that belong to Raza’s output as an artist. We hope it will prove to be a valuable resource for the art market and anyone with a serious interest in the artist’s work. The compendium will also hopefully be a great tool for visually studying the evolution of Raza’s style over time. Likewise, with the inclusion of quotes and archive material, it can be way to gain greater understanding of his work and his thoughts behind them.
