Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Winter's Day at the Plaza by Guy Carleton Wiggins was auctioned at Bonhams in Paris in May this year. The price achieved of USD 48,640.00 (€ 45,654.21) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 40,000.00 – 60,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Guy Carleton Wiggins - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Wall Street In Winter, which sold at auction in May 2017 for USD 200,000.00 (€ 177,999.29).
