In October 2017 Christies in New York held the auction Visionaries: Photographs from the Emily and Jerry Spiegel Collection, which included the work Deformazione, Ovvero La Vedova Allegra (Deformation or the Merry Widow), 1930 by Guglielmo Sansoni. The »bidding war« ended at USD 25,000.00 (€ 21,462.91), 67% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Guglielmo Sansoni - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Avvitamento, which sold at auction in October 2019 for GBP 43,812.00 (€ 50,818.78).
