The »bidding war« ended at USD 35,000.00 (€ 31,928.48), 40% above the upper estimate. 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).
