Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Landscape with Figure (F. & L. 179) by Benton Murdoch Spruance was auctioned at Christies in New York in February 2006, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 1,000.00 – 1,500.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 960.00 (€ 805.03). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Benton Murdoch Spruance achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The People Work - Morning, Noon, Evening, Night in August this year with an auction result of USD 35,280.00 (€ 32,549.13).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Landscape with Figure (F. & L. 179) von Benton Murdoch Spruance im Februar 2006 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 1.000,00 – 1.500,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 960,00 (€ 805,03) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Benton Murdoch Spruance erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The People Work - Morning, Noon, Evening, Night im August diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 35.280,00 (€ 32.549,13).
