In April 2017 Sothebys in New York held the auction Prints & Multiples, which included the work The Dory; A Gray Day (Houses On A Beach); And The Dory by Arthur Wesley Dow. The »bidding war« ended at USD 15,000.00 (€ 13,767.78), 50% above the upper estimate. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Arthur Wesley Dow; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot The Moon Over The Hill sold at auction in October 2014 with the realized price of USD 23,750.00 (€ 18,954.51).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 50 % übertroffen
