Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In July 2013 Christies in New York held the auction First Impression Prints and Multiples, which included the work Subway Shift: The Second Front by Benton Murdoch Spruance. Here, the upper estimate of USD 3,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for USD 3,250.00 (€ 2,446.92). 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).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Juli 2013 führte Christies in New York die Auktion First Impression Prints and Multiples durch, in der auch die Arbeit Subway Shift: The Second Front von Benton Murdoch Spruance zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von USD 3.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für USD 3.250,00 (€ 2.446,92) einen neuen 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).
