Franz Marc (1880-1916) was one of the most important members of the Blue Rider school of painters, together with other outstanding artists such as Wassily Kandinsky, Gabriele Munter, August Macke, Paul Klee and Alfred Kubin. 

The group marked the highpoint of German Expressionism and had a profound influence on international art during the brief period from its formation in 1911 to the beginning of World War I

This volume, the first of a three-part catalogue raisonne of Franz Marc's work, is devoted to the oil paintings. It includes all 244 paintings which have been newly researched and documented by the Stadtische Galerie at the Lenbachhaus in Munich

The chrology of the paintings has been thoroughly revised and updated and each entry provides details of technique, provenance, exhibitions and literature. All of the paintings are illustrated, most of them in color.

This volume, the second of a three-part catalogue raisonne of Franz Marc's work, is devoted to the watercolours, works on paper, sculpture and decorative arts. All the pieces included have been newly researched and documented by the Stadtische Galerie at the Lenbachhaus in Munich. Each entry provides details of technique, provenance, exhibitions and literature. All the works are illustrated, many of them in color. The resulting volume is the ultimate reference work for art lovers, art historians and collectors and offers fresh insights into the work of Franz Marc and the Blue Rider group as a whole.

The third and final volume of the catalogue raisonnĂ© contains the thirty-two sketchbooks by the artist and illustrates the hundreds of drawings he made from life as studies for works in other media. Over one thousand sketchbook pages are catalogued and reproduced for the first time, many of which had been separated from the sketchbooks and are here re-united with details of provenance and present location to provide a complete picture of the artist's preparatory work. 

The volume also contains detailed entries and illustrations of the artist's forty-five prints, including information on media, provenance, and location. It begins with introductory texts that explain the authors' methodology in cataloging the work and concludes with concordances, a glossary of terms, bibliography, and index.
