If payment is not received within that time, the next-highest bidder will have the right to purchase the print.
  • Minimum bid is $500. (The cost value is $455 for the print, matting and framing, but because this is Giclee Print No. 1 of a limited edition offering in which all others have been sold, the actual value is indeterminable).
