Auction result well in line with expectations
In May 2021 Bonhams in New York held the auction American Art, which included the work Looking Downtown 5th Avenue at 53rd Street by Guy Carleton Wiggins. It changed hands for a price of USD 22,812.50 (€ 18,707.97) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of USD 15,000.00 – 25,000.00. Admittedly, works by Guy Carleton Wiggins have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Wall Street In Winter in May 2017 with an auction result of USD 200,000.00 (€ 177,999.29).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Mai 2021 führte Bonhams in New York die Auktion American Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Looking Downtown 5th Avenue at 53rd Street von Guy Carleton Wiggins zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von USD 22.812,50 (€ 18.707,97) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 15.000,00 – 25.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Guy Carleton Wiggins auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Wall Street In Winter im Mai 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 200.000,00 (€ 177.999,29).
