Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Ring Of Sulfur On Flat Plain, Houston Project Sulphur From Rosenberg  by Robert Smithson was sold in the Contemporary Curated auction at Sothebys in New York in March 2019. The price achieved of USD 13,750.00 (€ 12,246.17) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 12,000.00 – 18,000.00. 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).
