Artwork auctioned at nine times the upper estimate price
The work Weary by Ben Johnson was worth USD 13,750.00 (€ 10,336.79) to a buyer in April 2010. This price was achieved in the auction The Estate of Mrs. Harry N. Abrams at Phillips in New York and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of USD 1,500.00 many times over. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Ben Johnson; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Staats sold at auction in July 2007 with the realized price of GBP 10,800.00 (€ 16,040.49).
