A top price for Thornton Oakley - as previously expected
The work Bus Terminal by Thornton Oakley was sold in the The National Geographic Collection: The Art of Exploration auction at Christies in New York in December 2012. The result of USD 5,000.00 (€ 3,791.90) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of USD 5,000.00 – 8,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Bus Terminal is the most expensive artwork by Thornton Oakley that we have observed at auctions so far.
