Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Thomas Moran achieved an unexpectedly high price at Bonhams in Los Angeles in November last year. In the The Collection of G. Andrew Bjurman auction, the work Hance's Canyon paper 9 1/2 x 12 1/2 in. framed 21 x 24 in. sold for USD 151,575.00 (€ 146,832.32) - well above the upper estimate of USD 60,000.00. 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).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Thomas Moran erzielte im November letzten Jahres bei Bonhams in Los Angeles einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion The Collection of G. Andrew Bjurman wurde die Arbeit Hance's Canyon paper 9 1/2 x 12 1/2 in. framed 21 x 24 in. für USD 151.575,00 (€ 146.832,32) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 60.000,00. 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).
