In March 2007 Christies in New York held the auction Fine American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture, which included the work The Old Barn by Walter Elmer Schofield. The »bidding war« ended at USD 48,000.00 (€ 35,890.53), 37% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Walter Elmer Schofield - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Nearing Spring, which sold at auction in May 2008 for USD 181,000.00 (€ 116,323.91).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 37 % übertroffen

Für andere Arbeiten von Walter Elmer Schofield mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Nearing Spring beobachtet, die im Mai 2008 für USD 181.000,00 (€ 116.323,91) versteigert wurde.
