The work Animal by Morris Graves was sold in the Evening & Day Editions auction at Phillips in New York in October 2016. The »bidding war« ended at USD 3,125.00 (€ 2,850.76), 25% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Morris Graves achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Bird Singing in the Moonlight in November 2003 with an auction result of USD 141,900.00 (€ 118,299.29).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 25 % übertroffen
