Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In May last year Christies in New York held the auction Adams & Company: Photographs of the American West Including Property from the Peter Fetterman Collection, which included the work Sand Dunes, Sunrise, Death Valley National Monument, California, c. 1948 by Ansel Adams. Here, the upper estimate of USD 20,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for USD 21,420.00 (€ 19,960.86). 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 leicht übertroffen
Im Mai letzten Jahres führte Christies in New York die Auktion Adams & Company: Photographs of the American West Including Property from the Peter Fetterman Collection durch, in der auch die Arbeit Sand Dunes, Sunrise, Death Valley National Monument, California, c. 1948 von Ansel Adams zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von USD 20.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für USD 21.420,00 (€ 19.960,86) einen neuen Besitzer. 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).
