Three rare Maud Lewis paintings up for auction in Saint John have sold for well above their estimated values.
They also attracted interest — and bids — from all over North America, said Sarah Jones, co-owner of Jones Auction House in Saint John.
Jones expected each to sell for between $25,000 and $35,000, but the final sale prices were far higher — between between $46,000 and $66,700.
Jones said it’s rare to see Lewis’s early work at auction.
