Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
This work without title by Wallace Berman was worth USD 20,000.00 (€ 15,837.82) to a buyer in September 2014. This price was achieved in the auction Contemporary Curated featuring works from the Collection of Joni Gordon of Newspace Gallery at Sothebys in New York and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of USD 5,000.00 many times over. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Wallace Berman achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Radio/Aether, 1966 in September last year with an auction result of USD 164,175.00 (€ 167,816.62).
