Upper estimate price exceeded by 98 %.
This artwork by Ansel Adams achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in February last year. In the A Grand Vision: The David H. Arrington Collection of Ansel Adams Photographs auction, the work Mushroom, Forest Floor sold for USD 13,860.00 (€ 12,348.54) - well above the upper estimate of USD 7,000.00. 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).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Ansel Adams erzielte im Februar letzten Jahres bei Sothebys in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion A Grand Vision: The David H. Arrington Collection of Ansel Adams Photographs wurde die Arbeit Mushroom, Forest Floor für USD 13.860,00 (€ 12.348,54) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 7.000,00. 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).
