  • Values are public auction results and are not complete records. They are not appraisals or offers.
  • Modern $USD converts each price at the average exchange rate of its sale year, then adjusts for US inflation to September 2026, rounded to three figures.
  • ≈ 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.
