Upper estimate price exceeded by 33 %.
The work Bedroom Portfolio by Tom Wesselmann was sold in the Prints and Multiples auction at Christies in New York in April 2018. It achieved a price of USD 40,000.00 (€ 33,129.04), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 33%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Tom Wesselmann achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Great American Nude No. 48 in May 2008 with an auction result of USD 10,681,000.00 (€ 6,864,395.89).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 33 % übertroffen

Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 40.000,00 (€ 33.129,04) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 33%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Tom Wesselmann erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Great American Nude No. 48 im Mai 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 10.681.000,00 (€ 6.864.395,89).
