Upper estimate price exceeded by 25 %.

In December 2019 Christies in New York held the auction Ansel Adams and the American West: Photographs from the Center for Creative Photography, which included the work Leaves, Mt. Rainier National Park, Washington, c. 1942 by Ansel Adams. The »bidding war« ended at USD 8,750.00 (€ 7,793.71), 25% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Ansel Adams achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Grand Tetons and the Snake River, Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming in December 2020 with an auction result of USD 988,000.00 (€ 807,849.55).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 25 % übertroffen

Im Dezember 2019 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Ansel Adams and the American West: Photographs from the Center for Creative Photography durch, in der auch die Arbeit Leaves, Mt. Rainier National Park, Washington, c. 1942 von Ansel Adams zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 8.750,00 (€ 7.793,71) und damit 25% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Ansel Adams erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Grand Tetons and the Snake River, Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming im Dezember 2020 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 988.000,00 (€ 807.849,55).
