Notes and sources
- Source: HAUS auction results, as of 10 Oct 2026. Statistics count only priced sales of the artist's own works at regular auctions; attributed, charity and primary-market lots are kept apart.
- The median and hammer ÷ start are shown from 10 sales; with a smaller sample the page shows “Too few sales” and the sample size.
- Lots left out are listed in the sales tables; they do not count in the median, the turnover or the records.
