Pop Art Pioneers price guide with median sale prices, transaction counts, top recorded sales, and authentication standards from Gauntlet Gallery comp data. The emphasis is on settled transaction data, authentication quality, and repeatable median behavior instead of active asking prices.

What moves value
- Documented authenticity is the first filter. For this category, Gauntlet prioritizes publisher, edition state, stamp, foundation context where relevant, and print condition.
- Condition and completeness matter because buyers pay more for examples that can be verified and displayed without unresolved questions.
- Edition scarcity or event provenance can move a piece away from the median floor.
How to read the data
- Median sale price is the repeatable floor, not a ceiling.
- Top sales are included for context, but they should not define ordinary valuation.
- Low-count years are directional only; higher-volume periods are more useful.
