The work Study for Self Portrait While Drawing by Tom Wesselmann was sold in the 20th Century & Contemporary Art Day Sale, Morning Session auction at Phillips in New York in November last year. The »bidding war« ended at USD 25,200.00 (€ 24,411.51), 26% 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 26 % übertroffen
