Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work A Side Canyon, Grand Canyon of Arizona by Thomas Moran was auctioned at Christies in New York in May last year, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 250,000.00 – 350,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 190,000.00 (€ 177,057.12). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Thomas Moran achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached 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 verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit A Side Canyon, Grand Canyon of Arizona von Thomas Moran im Mai letzten Jahres bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 250.000,00 – 350.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 190.000,00 (€ 177.057,12) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Thomas Moran erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Green River of Wyoming im Mai 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 17.737.000,00 (€ 11.399.100,26).
