A top price for Francis R. Hewitt - as previously expected
The work Munsell's Navaho Blanket by Francis R. Hewitt was sold in the First Open Online: Post-War and Contemporary Art auction at Christies in New York in July 2018. The result of USD 15,000.00 (€ 12,813.94) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of USD 15,000.00 – 20,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Munsell's Navaho Blanket is the most expensive artwork by Francis R. Hewitt that we have observed at auctions so far.
