A top price for Hiram Powers - as previously expected
The work Bust Of George Washington by Hiram Powers was sold in the American Paintings, Drawings & Sculpture auction at Sothebys in New York in December 2008. The price achieved of USD 182,500.00 (€ 131,115.74) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 150,000.00 – 250,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Bust Of George Washington is the most expensive artwork by Hiram Powers that we have observed at auctions so far.
