A catalogue raisonné is a list for curators or collectors to use to figure out what's out there for exhibitions.

I wish to document what's still available, what has been sold, (or lost, as these things happen), and investigate some more. I'm not looking for any compensation, just information to put together a guide, a small print run book (<5 copies), to be available, but not widely available.

My ultimate goal is to put on an art exhibition, but it's 3+ years down the road. Before I do that, I need to figure out who to talk to first. The artists are working their own angles and I figure this needs to be done before, well, estates come up or artists themselves pass away.

Anyone know any major collectors of mtg art out there or any other leads?

Post or PM me at your leisure.

I don't get that site. They had the original art for DanDan at 4888 for a while and it didn't move. So they decided to change the price to 3 grand more. I don't get it.

Yeah, Peter is on my list to follow up with soon.
Daniel Chang comes up quick, yes, but that's only the tip of the iceberg.

Thanks for responding everyone.

Folks, if you hear anything or it ever comes up, please drop me a line. This will take 2-3 years at least to get all the information into a formal catalogue raisonné.

Scott, believe it or not I contacted him a few years ago about this very piece,which I was highly interested in buying. He said he still owned this piece, but he didn't want to sell.

I still have the email if you want to read it.

Thanks, Matt! I guess we'll just have to wait and see if he ever decides to let it go. At least we know where it is.

Yeah, but Wizards always fails at that. They'd put the 5th Edition art on it or something even worse. Evidently, the art these days has to be insanely busy or detailed; nothing simple will suffice.

Part of that I think is that WoTC doesn't own the old art. I don't know all the legal stuff but they probably commissioned the use of the art in the early days so they'd have to pay out a huge commission or royalty check if they wanted to re-use say the original Llanowar Elves art.

At some point they realized they'd probably be sticking around as a company/game and now they probably pay a flat fee for the art and use it whenever and wherever they want.
