Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Desk Set by Wayne Thiebaud was sold in the Post-War & Contemporary Art Morning Session auction at Christies in New York in November 2017. The »bidding war« ended at USD 612,500.00 (€ 514,792.40), 23% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Wayne Thiebaud achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Encased Cakes in July last year with an auction result of HKD 79,200,000.00 (€ 9,882,532.84).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit Desk Set von Wayne Thiebaud wurde im November 2017 in der Auktion Post-War & Contemporary Art Morning Session bei Christies in New York versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 612.500,00 (€ 514.792,40) und damit 23% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Wayne Thiebaud erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Encased Cakes im Juli letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 79.200.000,00 (€ 9.882.532,84).
