How much are Wayne Thiebaud's paintings worth?
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.
