Upper estimate price exceeded by 68 %.
The work Smoking Cigarette by Tom Wesselmann was sold in the Living Contemporary auction at Sothebys in Cologne in June last year. The »bidding war« ended at EUR 10,080.00 68% above the upper estimate. 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 68 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Smoking Cigarette von Tom Wesselmann wurde im Juni letzten Jahres in der Auktion Living Contemporary bei Sothebys in Köln versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von EUR 10.080,00 und damit 68% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. 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).
