The work Maquette For Seated Lincoln by Gutzon Borglum was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in June 2016. It achieved a price of USD 100,000.00 (€ 90,645.40), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 67%. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Gutzon Borglum; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Mares of Diomedes' sold at auction in March 2006 with the realized price of USD 144,000.00 (€ 118,625.92).
