In May 2021 Christies in New York held the auction American Art, which included the work Washington Square by Guy Carleton Wiggins. The »bidding war« ended at USD 50,000.00 (€ 41,003.77), 67% above the upper estimate. 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).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 67 % übertroffen
Im Mai 2021 führte Christies in New York die Auktion American Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Washington Square von Guy Carleton Wiggins zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 50.000,00 (€ 41.003,77) und damit 67% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. 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).
