Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Pennsylvania Mill by Walter Emerson Baum was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in October 2015. The price achieved of USD 23,750.00 (€ 21,508.78) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 20,000.00 – 30,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Walter Emerson Baum - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Pink House, which sold at auction in November 2007 for USD 73,000.00 (€ 49,700.44).
