Market commentary
Opened at $3 million but didn't close even at the reported high bid. It's been a regular, selling post-block at RM's Amelia Island auction in 2003 for $750,000, then crossing the block here in 2004 at a reported high bid of $770,000 and at RM London in 2012 with a reported high bid of $3,866,640. It could have found a new home at the high bid here, and now will wander through the market searching for an elusive better offer.
