- ≈ means the sale year is not known, so the figure uses the latest exchange rate with no inflation adjustment.
- “Up to” means only top sales were seen.
- “est.” marks pre-sale estimates, which are not sales.
- “(attr.)” marks works catalogued as attributed to the artist.
- “(prints)” means only prints were found.
