Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Setting Sun at Sea by Thomas Moran was sold in the American Art auction at Sothebys in New York in November 2021. The price achieved of USD 138,600.00 (€ 122,796.14) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 120,000.00 – 180,000.00. 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).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Setting Sun at Sea von Thomas Moran wurde im November 2021 in der Auktion American Art bei Sothebys in New York versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 138.600,00 (€ 122.796,14) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 120.000,00 – 180.000,00 angegeben worden. 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).
