This artwork by Harriet Whitney Frishmuth achieved an unexpectedly high price at Bonhams in New York in November 2020. In the American Art auction, the work The Vine sold for USD 17,812.50 (€ 14,908.35) - well above the upper estimate of USD 9,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Harriet Whitney Frishmuth achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Vine in May 2009 with an auction result of USD 962,500.00 (€ 681,367.69).
