Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Spiral Jetty by Robert Smithson was sold in the Collection Loïc Malle: Only Time Will Tell auction at Sothebys in Paris in April last year. The price achieved of EUR 69,300.00 was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as EUR 60,000.00 – 90,000.00. 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
Die Arbeit Spiral Jetty von Robert Smithson wurde im April letzten Jahres in der Auktion Collection Loïc Malle: Only Time Will Tell bei Sothebys in Paris versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von EUR 69.300,00 lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit EUR 60.000,00 – 90.000,00 angegeben worden. 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).
