How much are Wayne Thiebaud's paintings worth?
1 Answer

How much Wayne Thiebaud's paintings are worth varies based on their size, history, condition and other factors. In 2020, his Four Pinball Machines sold for over $19 million at a New York auction. Thiebaud’s pastel-hued still-life paintings and prints of baked goods, gumball machines, hot dogs and paint cans are often associated with the Pop art movement, thanks to the mass-cultural appeal of their content. Stylistically, however, Thiebaud eschewed the precision found in the art of such Pop giants as Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol in favor of a more painterly approach, not unlike that of the Italian modernist Giorgio Morandi, whose dreamy paintings of vessels and household objects are simple yet richly atmospheric. If you own a Thiebaud painting, a certified appraiser or experienced art dealer can help you determine how much it may be worth. On 1stDibs, explore an assortment of Wayne Thiebaud art.
