Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Project For An Open Pit With Lake by Robert Smithson was sold in the Contemporary Curated auction at Sothebys in New York in March 2018. It changed hands for a price of USD 32,500.00 (€ 26,379.87) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of USD 25,000.00 – 35,000.00. 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).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
