Upper estimate price exceeded by 58 %.
The work The Couple, From The Expressionist Woodcut Series by Roy Lichtenstein was sold in the Prints & Multiples auction at Christies in New York in April 2016. It achieved a price of USD 47,500.00 (€ 41,517.35), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 58%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Roy Lichtenstein achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Nurse in November 2015 with an auction result of USD 95,365,000.00 (€ 90,290,664.65).

Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 47.500,00 (€ 41.517,35) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 58%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Roy Lichtenstein erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Nurse im November 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 95.365.000,00 (€ 90.290.664,65).
