Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Asian Landscape, 2010 by George Widener was sold in the Beyond Imagination: Outsider and Vernacular Art Featuring the Collection of Marjorie and Harvey Freed auction at Christies in New York in January 2018. The price achieved of USD 12,500.00 (€ 10,057.93) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 10,000.00 – 15,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by George Widener - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Megalopolis 181, 2007, which sold at auction in January 2019 for USD 40,000.00 (€ 34,922.30).
