Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Split Rail Fences and Corn Shocks, near Marion, W. Va., 1939 by Marion Post Wolcott was sold in the Photographs Including Crossing America: Photographs from The Consolidated Freightways Collection, Part II auction at Christies in New York in December 2011. It achieved a price of USD 2,125.00 (€ 1,638.02), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 18%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Marion Post Wolcott achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Vegetable pickers, migrants, waiting after work to be paid, near Homestead, Florida, Feb 1939 in October 2021 with an auction result of USD 21,420.00 (€ 18,542.24).
