This chart displays the net realised auction value over time. Sold lots add their hammer price to the cumulative total, while unsold (bought-in) lots subtract the estimate spread — the gap between the high and low estimate — reflecting the auction house's uncertainty rather than the midpoint. Values are normalised for consistency across auctions and currencies.
