Upper estimate price exceeded by 67 %.
The work Madonna of the Subway (Fine & Looney 13) by Benton Murdoch Spruance was auctioned at Christies in New York in July 2008. It achieved a price of USD 1,000.00 (€ 641.48), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 67%. 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).

Die Arbeit Madonna of the Subway (Fine & Looney 13) von Benton Murdoch Spruance kam im Juli 2008 bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 1.000,00 (€ 641,48) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 67%. 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).
