The work Bramble #18 by Morris Graves was sold in the American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture auction at Sothebys in New York in June 2016. The »bidding war« ended at USD 43,750.00 (€ 39,657.36), 46% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Morris Graves - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Bird Singing in the Moonlight, which sold at auction in November 2003 for USD 141,900.00 (€ 118,299.29).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 46 % übertroffen
