Sold at the lower estimate price

In July 2020 Phillips in New York held the auction 20th c. & Contemporary Art Day Sale, Afternoon Session, which included the work Oak, Mellaar from the series Flanders Trees by Rodney Graham. The result of USD 40,000.00 (€ 33,973.16) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of USD 40,000.00 – 60,000.00.
