Kaws: career timeline

American · b. 1974 · Works grouped by the decade they were made (the cataloged date, or a date in the signature or title), not by sale date. 872 of 1,044 lots (84% 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.

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