Surrealist artist Francis Picabia was the ultimate shapeshifter. Did all that experimentation stunt his market?

hails from Picabia’s “Transparences” series, which is widely regarded as his most desirable. Of the artist’s top 10 auction prices, six are from this body of work. Picabia created the “Transparences”—defined by layered imagery drawn from mythology, religion, nature, and philosophy—between 1927 and 1933.The volume of Picabia works that hit the block annually has remained remarkably consistent over the past decade.

, eclipses Picabia’s at $79.4 million; Joan Miró’s sits at $37 million; Max Ernst’s is $16.3 million. Over the course of his decorated career, Picabia—who was born wealthy and gained a reputation as a jokester and a playboy—hopped from Impressionism to Cubism to Dadaism, even dabbling at one point in Renaissance-style painting.

Picabia is a quintessential artist’s artist: Many of his best works are already in museum collections, and his paintings have been collected by the likes of painter Julian Schnabel and Calder Foundation chief Sandy Rower. In recent years, his work has occasionally popped up at art fairs and sold for prices in the high six and low seven figures.
