The work Minnow by Morris Cole Graves was auctioned at Christies in New York in May 2021. It achieved a price of USD 22,500.00 (€ 18,451.70), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 50%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Morris Cole Graves achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Shore Birds in May 2018 with an auction result of USD 408,500.00 (€ 350,042.84).
