In I might actually make the series post a child of the artist post.

On the artwork post I would have select field for artist. I would hand code the bidirectionality of this field with a field on the artist page.

I would have a second field that is dynamically populated with the series based on the artist selected. This would likely be a select field using something similar to this https://github.com/Hube2/acf-dynamic-ajax-select-example/tree/master/dynamic-select-example.

Then you can do a meta query to get posts from works that match both the artist and their series. Using series as a child of artist you can also get all of the series by an artist by getting child pages or you can easily get the artist for any series by getting the parent post.
