The work Hide and Seek': A Pair of Bookends by Abastenia St. Leger Eberle was auctioned at Christies in New York in September 2008. It achieved a price of USD 10,000.00 (€ 7,101.77), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 43%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Abastenia St. Leger Eberle achieve.
