| # | Work | Medium | Price | House | Sold |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Victoria Square Guardians - II, 1991 | Bronze | $100,344 | Sotheby's | Sep 2024 |
| 2 | ALoC: The Object II, 1997-2001 | The sculpture is built with a network of slender, linear steel elements that form rectilinear frames rising from a square base. Vertical uprights are joined by horizontal lines that establish planes, thresholds, and openings, resulting in a predominantly open structure through which light and air pass. Within this skeletal architecture, geometric components are suspended and supported: a sharply inclined planar element slices diagonally through the central volume, disrupting the surrounding geometric order, while a polished steel sphere rests upon it, its reflective surface contrasting with the surrounding framework and acting as a visual anchor | $70,205 | Pundole's | Mar 2026 |
