This artwork by Steve Wolfe achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in March 2011. In the First Open Post-War and Contemporary Art auction, the work Untitled (Hey Jude/Revolution) sold for USD 52,500.00 (€ 37,016.15) - well above the upper estimate of USD 30,000.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Steve Wolfe; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Ludwig Wittgenstein, The Blue And Brown Books (Preliminary Studies For The 'Philosophical Investigations') sold at auction in November 2004 with the realized price of USD 52,580.00 (€ 39,656.08).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 75 % übertroffen
