Sold at the lower estimate price
The work Construction (Untitled) by James Guy was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in April 2012. The result of USD 15,000.00 (€ 11,338.73) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of USD 15,000.00 – 20,000.00. Admittedly, works by James Guy have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Capital Minus Labor in March 2009 with an auction result of USD 68,500.00 (€ 51,655.23).
