A top price for William Thomas Trego
When the work Cavalry Charge of the Union Army by William Thomas Trego was auctioned at Christies in New York in March 2007, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 12,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 42,000.00 (€ 31,404.22). This high result makes Cavalry Charge of the Union Army the most expensive artwork by William Thomas Trego that we have observed at auctions so far.
