By no means has that catalogue been copied at any point. Modigliani Project and Modigliani Initiative are marked YES when the work is published or otherwise recorded by those projects, even if no catalogue number is assigned; otherwise the field is marked ?.

Exhibition catalogues appear in both this list and the exhibition list when this investigation recorded them in both places.
