This project aims to identify and generally catalog the work of Amadeo Luciano Lorenzato (1900-1995) digitally, continuously, openly and non-profitably.
Anyone interested can propose a work for incorporation into the cataloging of the Lorenzato Project by filling in the form below. All information submitted about the work will be treated in strict confidence. To avoid conflicts of interest, the Advisory Board will not have access to any personal information about the applicant, only the technical and historical data of the work. Once the work has been registered, we will send an e-mail confirming the registration of the work and sending information on the payment of the submission fee, as applicable.
Through periodic meetings, the Advisory Board will evaluate works submitted to the Project, issuing opinions that guide – positively or negatively – the incorporation of information about the works into the cataloging. The opinions are formally sent back to the submitters with the arguments justifying the Council’s position, and can be appealed in the event of a negative opinion.
The internal regulations detailing the rules of operation of the Advisory Council are available here. If you have any questions, the Project is happy to contact you at projeto@amadeolucianolorenzato.com.
The Project makes every effort to credit the images published and is available for any questions about its activities and productions.
Understanding the heterogeneity of data on the artist’s works, we suggest that you indicate if you do not have the information requested by any field on the form itself. We would like to point out that, although submissions full of data are encouraged, sending information about works for which little is known is equally important for the project.
Please note that by submitting a work, the applicant is agreeing to the guidelines set out above.
For clarification of any doubts, the Project makes itself available for contact via projeto@amadeoluciaonlorenzato.com.
Projeto Amadeo Luciano Lorenzato’s Consultative Board is formed by professionals with notorious knowledge about the artist’s work – in the commercial, academic and institutional contexts – and the establishment of artistic research projects in Brazil. Its members, based on periodic assemblies governed by internal and open regulations, analyze and issue appraisals about the incorporation of works submitted in the Project’s cataloging.
