This monograph, a first effort to establish a catalogue of the artist's work, contains an illustrated checklist of 696 works (paintings, drawings, and sculpture), all illustrated. Giorgio Galansino also prepared a dissertation at the University of Chicago, entitled "Jean Fautrier : A Chronology of his Early Paintings, 1921-1942", which is seen as a supplement to the above. Further, a catalogue raisonné has long been cited in the literature as being in preparation by Marie-José Lefort and La Galerie Jeanne Castel, Paris (no additional information currently available).
