One of the main tasks of the Foundation will be to create a catalogue of the complete works of El Lissitzky. Since there is a big number of works of uncertain authenticity attributed to Lissitzky both in public and private collections, as well as on the market, the importance of this initiative is of high importance. The work on the catalogue has already started.
The official site of The Lissitzky Foundation is here.
