The catalogue in the first volume (published 1986) describes 1,334 paintings. Besides cataloguing the artist's paintings, ceramics, and works on paper, the second volume (1999) includes a biography of the artist and a bibliography of her books with her illustrations. A supplement to volume I has the text in Japanese. The catalogue raisonné in vol. 1 is organized in two parts: all paintings executed from 1901-1945 are listed chronologically, paintings after 1956 are arranged by subject. The works on paper in Vol. 2 are also listed chronologically and by theme. The catalogue also includes a genealogy of Marie Laurencin.
