Upper estimate price exceeded by 58 %.

The work Set Of Four Boxes: Brillo Box, Campbell'S Tomato Juice Box, Del Monte Peach Halves Box, Heinz Tomato Ketchup Box by Andy Warhol was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in May 2008. It achieved a price of USD 4,745,000.00 (€ 3,049,485.86), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 58%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Andy Warhol achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Shot Sage Blue Marilyn in May last year with an auction result of USD 195,040,000.00 (€ 181,753,797.41).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 58 % übertroffen
