THERE IS NO USUAL PLACE FOR SIGNATURES

  • Many experts see perfect a signature on top to the right, but when you show them a signature on bottom center they instantly turn a red light:
    Using the accepted works present in Ceroni's catalogue and a few undoubted additions, lets make a placement recollection:
    ( this means 337 + 19 works, a total of 356 covering the period 1906-1919)
      unsigned in amedeo modigliani  
      Unsigned: 60 Paintings  
    low-left unsigned - signature paintings in modigliani low, center - signature paintings in modigliani low-right - signature paintings in modigliani
    Bottom left: 20 Paintings Bottom center: 3 Paintings Bottom Right: 54 Paintings

    Is a nonsense to make a law, the dominant is the signature in top right with 174 works, unsigned 60, bottom right 54, top left 44.
    Modigliani in my conclusion signed just where it fit best according to the composition.
