In October 2000 Christies in New York held the auction American Paintings and Sculpture, which included the work May Morning by Carl Wuermer. The »bidding war« ended at USD 7,637.50 (€ 9,000.12), 53% above the upper estimate. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Carl Wuermer; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Early Spring Morning, No. 597 sold at auction in June 2016 with the realized price of USD 13,750.00 (€ 12,463.74).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 53 % übertroffen
