52 recorded sales across 6 houses, 1998 to 2026. US dollar sales only.
Bar shows the full range of prices paid that year; the mark is the median. Median rather than average, so one exceptional lot does not distort the year. * Years marked with an asterisk have fewer than three recorded sales, too few to read as a market level.
Showing 1–100 of 347 auction records. Prices as reported by the auction house, in the sale's original currency.
