FLW Chairs Auctioned Off for 71 Grand

This is a little off topic but for those that know my educational background I find this kind of stuff very interesting.
"The slat-backed chairs, which are said to be less valuable than Wright's more elegant spindle-backed furniture, had belonged to the Unity Temple, but were not original to that Oak Park building. They are believed to have been designed for a now-vanished bookstore on Chicago's Michigan Avenue, and later donated to the temple's Unitarian congregation. "
They are also very uncomfortable to sit in, but as with much that Frank Lloyd Wright designed the chairs are sculptural works of art not functional pieces of furniture.
