Sold at the lower estimate price
The work 'Pajamas': A Pair of Gatepost Roosters by Wheeler Williams was auctioned at Christies in New York in September 2012. The result of USD 10,000.00 (€ 7,778.47) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of USD 10,000.00 – 15,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Wheeler Williams - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Winter and Summer: Two Sculptures, which sold at auction in September 2008 for USD 30,000.00 (€ 21,305.31).
