Sold at the lower estimate price
The work Shoes, Made of Old Automobile Tires, of Henry Mitchell, FSA client, Greene County, Georgia by Marion Post Wolcott was auctioned at Phillips in New York in April 2019. The result of USD 6,000.00 (€ 5,356.66) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of USD 6,000.00 – 8,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Marion Post Wolcott - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Vegetable pickers, migrants, waiting after work to be paid, near Homestead, Florida, Feb 1939, which sold at auction in October 2021 for USD 21,420.00 (€ 18,542.24).
