This artwork by Wallace Berman achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in May this year. In the A Century of Art: The Gerald Fineberg Collection Part II auction, the work without title sold for USD 100,800.00 (€ 94,612.35) - well above the upper estimate of USD 50,000.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Wallace Berman; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Radio/Aether, 1966 sold at auction in September last year with the realized price of USD 164,175.00 (€ 167,816.62).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
