Auction result well in line with expectations

The work A Passing Shower in the Yellowstone Cañon by Thomas Moran was auctioned at Christies in New York in May last year. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 1,500,000.00 – 2,500,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 1,740,000.00 (€ 1,621,470.51) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Thomas Moran have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Green River of Wyoming in May 2008 with an auction result of USD 17,737,000.00 (€ 11,399,100.26).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit A Passing Shower in the Yellowstone Cañon von Thomas Moran kam im Mai letzten Jahres bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 1.500.000,00 – 2.500.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 1.740.000,00 (€ 1.621.470,51) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Thomas Moran auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Green River of Wyoming im Mai 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 17.737.000,00 (€ 11.399.100,26).
