Artwork auctioned at eight times the upper estimate price
The work Torn Photograph from the Second Stop (Rubble) Second Mountain of Six Stops on a Section by Robert Smithson was worth EUR 5,670.00 to a buyer in April last year. This price was achieved in the auction Collection Loïc Malle: Only Time Will Tell at Sothebys in Paris and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of EUR 700.00 many times over. 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).

Dieser Preise wurde in der Auktion Collection Loïc Malle: Only Time Will Tell bei Sothebys in Paris erzielt und übertraf den zuvor angesetzten oberen Schätzpreis von EUR 700,00 um ein Vielfaches. 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).
