Sold at the lower estimate price
The work Partially Buried Island Hut by Robert Smithson was auctioned at Christies in New York in February 2019. The result of USD 15,000.00 (€ 13,182.18) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of USD 15,000.00 – 20,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Robert Smithson achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Alogon #3 in May 2008 with an auction result of USD 4,297,000.00 (€ 2,761,568.12).

Die Arbeit Partially Buried Island Hut von Robert Smithson kam im Februar 2019 bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von USD 15.000,00 (€ 13.182,18) entsprach exakt dem unteren Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 15.000,00 – 20.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Robert Smithson erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Alogon #3 im Mai 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 4.297.000,00 (€ 2.761.568,12).
