Anonymous: career timeline

Chinese · Few works by Anonymous have a recorded creation date (11 of 551), so works are grouped by the decade they were sold, not made. Each work is shown once, even when it sold more than once.

Anonymous: works at auction by decade the work was sold (creation dates are not recorded for most of these works). Each work counted once; medians use sold works only, in US dollars.
