Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Late Afternoon Light by William Mason Brown was auctioned at Christies in New York in September 2004. The price achieved of USD 28,680.00 (€ 23,097.37) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 25,000.00 – 35,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by William Mason Brown - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Still Life with Melon, Grapes, Peaches, Pears and Black Raspberries, which sold at auction in March 2003 for USD 83,650.00 (€ 76,743.12).
