Jean Paul Riopelle: career timeline

Canadian · 1923–2002 · Works grouped by the decade they were made (the cataloged date, or a date in the signature or title), not by sale date. 75 of 95 lots (78% of works) have a usable creation date; the others are listed at the end by the decade they were sold. Each work is shown once, even when it sold more than once.

Jean Paul Riopelle: works at auction by decade the work was made. Each work counted once; medians use sold works only, in US dollars.
