Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
When the work Cooking Under Moonlight Signed 'Wilson Bigaud' lower right. Oil on Masonite, framed. 24 3/8 x 26 3/8 in. (62.0 x 67.0 cm) by Wilson Bigaud was auctioned at Bonhams in Skinner Marlborough, Massachusetts in December last year, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 600.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at USD 2,422.50 (€ 2,264.44). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Wilson Bigaud; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot without title sold at auction in October last year with the realized price of USD 4,032.00 (€ 4,058.79).
Kunstwerk zum Vierfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Cooking Under Moonlight Signed 'Wilson Bigaud' lower right. Oil on Masonite, framed. 24 3/8 x 26 3/8 in. (62.0 x 67.0 cm) von Wilson Bigaud im Dezember letzten Jahres bei Bonhams in Skinner Marlborough, Massachusetts versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 600,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 2.422,50 (€ 2.264,44) mehr als viermal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Wilson Bigaud; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit ohne Titel im Oktober letzten Jahres mit dem Hammerpreis von USD 4.032,00 (€ 4.058,79).
