Sold at the lower estimate price
In July 2008 Christies in London held the auction Post-War & Contemporary ArtDay Sale (Morning), which included the work Study for Bedroom Blonde with Lavender Wallpaper (Black) by Tom Wesselmann. The result of GBP 15,000.00 (€ 19,057.67) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 15,000.00 – 20,000.00. 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).
Zuschlag beim unteren Schätzpreis
Im Juli 2008 führte Christies in London die Auktion Post-War & Contemporary ArtDay Sale (Morning) durch, in der auch die Arbeit Study for Bedroom Blonde with Lavender Wallpaper (Black) von Tom Wesselmann zur Versteigerung kam. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von GBP 15.000,00 (€ 19.057,67) entsprach exakt dem unteren Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 15.000,00 – 20.000,00. 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).
