Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In October 2016 Sothebys in New York held the auction American Art, Including the Collection of George S. Parker II from the Caxambas Foundation, which included the work Chocolate Cosmos And Lobelia by Morris Graves. Here, the upper estimate of USD 30,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for USD 32,500.00 (€ 29,647.87). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Morris Graves - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Bird Singing in the Moonlight, which sold at auction in November 2003 for USD 141,900.00 (€ 118,299.29).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Oktober 2016 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion American Art, Including the Collection of George S. Parker II from the Caxambas Foundation durch, in der auch die Arbeit Chocolate Cosmos And Lobelia von Morris Graves zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von USD 30.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für USD 32.500,00 (€ 29.647,87) einen neuen Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Morris Graves mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Bird Singing in the Moonlight beobachtet, die im November 2003 für USD 141.900,00 (€ 118.299,29) versteigert wurde.
