Timo Sarpaneva: career timeline

Finnish · 1926–2006 · Works grouped by the decade they were made (the cataloged date, or a date in the signature or title), not by sale date. 81 of 130 lots (62% 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.
