catalogues raisonnés
Toujours en mouvement, curieuse de visiter les expositions tant aux sujets anciens que modernes, elle ne manqua pas non plus de se rendre aux grandes foires d’art actuel. Là elle pouvait à sa guise chiner une œuvre qui lui parlerait et qui développerait une approche esthétique complémentaire qui manquait à sa collection.
this is a catalogue from France. It's for an art gallery

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

I meant "descriptive" without the s, of course...

: A descriptive, not descriptives, catalogue is something else. Generally a listing of manuscripts or insects, for instance, in a collection.

Christopher Crockett
: It's a particular kind of catalog, relating to the work of a single artist over all or part of his/her career. No English term for it, that I am aware of.
