Stolen Art DealerPrices at auction
The Record Book
Every work with a recorded auction price, 1,214 in all, ranked from the highest price achieved at auction to the lowest. Prices include the buyer’s premium, in US dollars at the time of sale. Under each price is the same amount in today’s money (US consumer prices, September 2026). The 2 works with no USD price yet follow at the end. 57 works have no known sale date, or were sold before 1913, so they are not adjusted for inflation; ranked in today’s money, they follow the rest.
For every artwork, in or out of the Collection, see the most expensive works ever sold at auction.
