Auction result well in line with expectations

The work 'Harmonious Opportunities' A Bench, 1990 by Wendell Castle was sold in the BARRY FRIEDMAN: THE ECLECTIC EYE Evening Sale and Day Sale auction at Christies in New York in March 2014. The price achieved of USD 56,250.00 (€ 40,828.92) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 50,000.00 – 70,000.00.
