The work Stratosphere by Werner Drewes was sold in the American Art auction at Bonhams in Los Angeles in November this year. The »bidding war« ended at USD 8,960.00 (€ 8,214.15), 28% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by Werner Drewes have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Expectation of New Events in November last year with an auction result of USD 75,975.00 (€ 73,597.79).
