Upper estimate price exceeded by 27 %.
The work Study for Most Beautiful Foot by Tom Wesselmann was auctioned at Christies in New York in May 2001. It achieved a price of USD 15,275.00 (€ 18,066.23), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 27%. 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 27 % übertroffen
