Robert Klippel: career timeline

Australian · 1920–2001 · Works grouped by the decade they were made (the cataloged date, or a date in the signature or title), not by sale date. 109 of 110 lots (99% 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.
