Upper estimate price exceeded by 60 %.
The work Tree Detail, Sierra Nevada by Ansel Adams was sold in the A Grand Vision: The David H. Arrington Collection of Ansel Adams Photographs auction at Sothebys in New York in February last year. It achieved a price of USD 47,880.00 (€ 42,658.59), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 60%. 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).

Die Arbeit Tree Detail, Sierra Nevada von Ansel Adams wurde im Februar letzten Jahres in der Auktion A Grand Vision: The David H. Arrington Collection of Ansel Adams Photographs bei Sothebys in New York versteigert. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 47.880,00 (€ 42.658,59) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 60%. 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).
