When the work Morning In The Alleghenies by William Louis Sonntag was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in November 2012, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 50,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at USD 230,500.00 (€ 177,171.41). This high result makes Morning In The Alleghenies the most expensive artwork by William Louis Sonntag that we have observed at auctions so far.
