  • ≈ 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.
