Auction result well in line with expectations
In April 2003 Christies in New York held the auction Nineteenth and Twentieth Century Prints, which included the work The People Play -- Summer (F. and L. 155) by Benton Murdoch Spruance. The price achieved of USD 5,975.00 (€ 4,865.64) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 5,000.00 – 7,000.00. Admittedly, works by Benton Murdoch Spruance have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved 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 im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im April 2003 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Nineteenth and Twentieth Century Prints durch, in der auch die Arbeit The People Play -- Summer (F. and L. 155) von Benton Murdoch Spruance zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 5.975,00 (€ 4.865,64) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 5.000,00 – 7.000,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Benton Murdoch Spruance auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit The People Work - Morning, Noon, Evening, Night im August diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 35.280,00 (€ 32.549,13).
