Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Smoker Sculpture by Tom Wesselmann was auctioned at Christies in New York in May 2014. The price achieved of USD 60,000.00 (€ 43,988.27) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 50,000.00 – 70,000.00. 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).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Smoker Sculpture von Tom Wesselmann kam im Mai 2014 bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 60.000,00 (€ 43.988,27) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 50.000,00 – 70.000,00 angegeben worden. 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).
