A top price for William Shew - as previously expected
The work Chinese Gold Miners Posed With Nuggets, California by William Shew was sold in the Photographs auction at Sothebys in New York in October 2017. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 30,000.00 – 50,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 32,500.00 (€ 27,901.79) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Chinese Gold Miners Posed With Nuggets, California is the most expensive artwork by William Shew that we have observed at auctions so far.
