Upper estimate price exceeded by 28 %.
The work Pushing Men Bookends by Harriet Whitney Frishmuth was auctioned at Bonhams in New York in June last year. It achieved a price of USD 6,375.00 (€ 6,089.41), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 28%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Harriet Whitney Frishmuth achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Vine in May 2009 with an auction result of USD 962,500.00 (€ 681,367.69).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 28 % übertroffen

Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 6.375,00 (€ 6.089,41) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 28%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Harriet Whitney Frishmuth erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Vine im Mai 2009 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 962.500,00 (€ 681.367,69).
