Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Smoker by Tom Wesselmann was sold in the Living Contemporary auction at Sothebys in Cologne in June last year. It achieved a price of EUR 6,048.00 exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 21 %. 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 leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit Smoker von Tom Wesselmann wurde im Juni letzten Jahres in der Auktion Living Contemporary bei Sothebys in Köln versteigert. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von EUR 6.048,00 und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 21 %. 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).
