Seller's Description:
The late artist Tom Wesselmann spent his last years studying the still life, and modernizes the Dutch Masters genre through his use of Pop imagery and bold colors. Inspired by Matisse, he created vibrant still life scenes, as evident in "Still Life with Petunias, Lilies and Fruit" through his use of color, slight abstraction, and exaggeration of forms. This is the perfect work to welcome in Spring!

Art Market Data

Tom Wesselmann Price Development
  • More About this Chart

    • The chart shows the annual average premium prices of lots sold by the artist, which are calculated by dividing the total sales volume of the premium prices of all lots sold by the number of lots sold. For 2009, the data included in the calculations is current through the 15th of June. The charts will be updated every three months.

      The data is culled from the artnet Price Database, which has collected auction sales results for over twenty years.

      Prices are stated in USD in order to facilitate comparison and analysis of the market reports. When sales took place in another currency, the conversion of that amount into USD was done on the basis of the average conversion rate applicable on the day of the sale.

      Although most auction houses these days report transactions in prices that include a buyer’s premium, some auction houses report only the hammer price. Based on an analysis of historical auction catalogs, we apply a formula to all records with hammer prices to estimate the effect of a buyer’s premium. All prices used in the charts are either reported in or equated to hammer price plus buyer’s premium.
