Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Study for Mouth #16 by Tom Wesselmann was auctioned at Christies in Milan in December last year. The price achieved of EUR 252,000.00 was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as EUR 200,000.00 – 300,000.00. 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 Study for Mouth #16 von Tom Wesselmann kam im Dezember letzten Jahres bei Christies in Mailand zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von EUR 252.000,00 lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit EUR 200.000,00 – 300.000,00 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).
