Auction result well in line with expectations
In May 2014 Sothebys in New York held the auction Prints, which included the work American Pattern - Barn (Fine & Looney 184) by Benton Murdoch Spruance. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 10,000.00 – 15,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 10,625.00 (€ 7,789.59) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. 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 Mai 2014 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Prints durch, in der auch die Arbeit American Pattern - Barn (Fine & Looney 184) von Benton Murdoch Spruance zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 10.000,00 – 15.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 10.625,00 (€ 7.789,59) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. 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).
