Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work A Louisiana Bayou by Joseph Rusling Meeker was sold in the Important American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture auction at Christies in New York in May 2001. Here, the upper estimate of USD 30,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for USD 30,550.00 (€ 36,132.47). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Joseph Rusling Meeker - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Sunset, which sold at auction in May 2006 for USD 132,000.00 (€ 102,859.81).
