He is the grandson of the painter Isaak Antcher from Bessarabia. He is the founder of the Institut Restellini and is internationally recognized as one of theleading experts on the artist AmedeoModigliani. He is keen to see a more innovative reading of Art History based on the cross-disciplinarity of works. His novel approach as an exhibition curator has played a notable part in the modernization of the French cultural scene. A unique project to produce a Catalogue Raisonné dedicated to Amedeo Modigliani was his brainchild, based on hitherto un- used technologies and a new scientific approach. He obtained a degree in history and then a postgraduate degree in art history at the Université Panthéon-Sorbonne, where he then became a lecturer. His determination to offer the public his original vision of art history came to the fore in his first exhibition which he organized in 1989 in the townhall of the 6th Arrondissement in Paris, Portraits and Landscapes at Zborowski's, his research topic at the Sorbonne. Marc Restellini subsequently curated many travel- ling exhibitions in Japan, at the Tobu Museum among others, where he was asked to curate the inaugural exhibition in 1992. For that show, he put together a selection of Modigliani's masterpieces, on view for the first time in Japan. For almost ten years, in Asia and in Europe, he greatly improved the system of travelling exhibitions, impro- ving the viability of ambitious projects.
