Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Stage Five by Kenneth Snelson was sold in the Contemporary Art auction at Sothebys in New York in September 2009. The price achieved of USD 16,250.00 (€ 11,107.31) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 12,000.00 – 18,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Kenneth Snelson - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Maquette, which sold at auction in January 2013 for USD 52,500.00 (€ 38,648.41).
