Auction result well in line with expectations

In October 2010 Sothebys in New York held the auction Prints, which included the work Riders Of The Apocalypse (Fine And Looney 222) by Benton Murdoch Spruance. It changed hands for a price of USD 22,500.00 (€ 16,194.04) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of USD 18,000.00 – 24,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Benton Murdoch Spruance - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The People Work - Morning, Noon, Evening, Night, which sold at auction in August this year for USD 35,280.00 (€ 32,549.13).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im Oktober 2010 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Prints durch, in der auch die Arbeit Riders Of The Apocalypse (Fine And Looney 222) von Benton Murdoch Spruance zur Versteigerung kam.
