Prices are what the buyer paid, including the auction house's premium. The line on the chart is the median of the trailing twelve months, redrawn every night. A window holding fewer than 5 sales gets no point at all, which is why the line breaks rather than bridging a quiet stretch.
Only sold lots are counted. Sales by year: 2023: 5 · 2024: 7 · 2025: 25 · 2026: 15. Coverage is Guyette & Deeter and Copley; private sales, shows and other houses aren't in this data.
