Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Contemplating the View at Muley Point, Utah by Mark Klett was auctioned at Christies in New York in October 2001, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 1,500.00 – 2,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 1,175.00 (€ 1,306.57). Admittedly, works by Mark Klett have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Around Toroweap Point, just before and after sundown, beginning and ending with views used by J.K. Hillers over 100 years ago, Grand Canyon in October 2018 with an auction result of USD 12,500.00 (€ 11,030.71).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Contemplating the View at Muley Point, Utah von Mark Klett im Oktober 2001 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 1.500,00 – 2.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 1.175,00 (€ 1.306,57) den Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Mark Klett auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Around Toroweap Point, just before and after sundown, beginning and ending with views used by J.K. Hillers over 100 years ago, Grand Canyon im Oktober 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 12.500,00 (€ 11.030,71).
