CATALOGUE RAISONNÉ

In 2015, a project was started to document Hyman Bloom’s body of work.  As of  February 2024,  2,289 works have been cataloged — 297 oils & 1,992 works on paper.  Bloom works from 156 exhibitions/publications are documented, including 27 solo exhibitions, 83 group exhibitions and 46 assorted art-related publications.

It is hoped that publication of the catalogue data can take place at some point in the not-too-distant future, most likely in an online format.
