The Ledger

The prices in the news, as reported and checked by an editor. Every entry says what kind of price it is — an auction result (with or without the buyer’s premium), a private or reported sale, or an asking price — and in which currency. Ranked by the US-dollar figure when the price was in dollars or a source gave one; we don’t convert currencies ourselves.

Asking and list prices: what sellers want, not what buyers paid. They’re never ranked with sales.

Prices are as reported by the auction house, the seller’s agent, public records or the outlet named, and checked by an editor against the story’s sources. Past prices don’t predict future ones — nothing here is investment advice.
