Auction result misses estimated price range
In May 2006 a collector was able to acquire the work Prelude To Rest (Fine & Looney 109) by Benton Murdoch Spruance for USD 3,840.00 (€ 2,992.29). This price was achieved in the auction Prints and Multiples at Christies in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 4,000.00 – 6,000.00 set by the auction house. 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
Im Mai 2006 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Prelude To Rest (Fine & Looney 109) von Benton Murdoch Spruance für USD 3.840,00 (€ 2.992,29) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Prints and Multiples bei Christies in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 4.000,00 – 6.000,00. 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).
