Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Merced River, Reflection, Yosemite National Park, California, C. 1960 by Ansel Adams was auctioned at Christies in New York in April 2021. The price achieved of USD 12,500.00 (€ 10,390.69) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 10,000.00 – 15,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Ansel Adams achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Grand Tetons and the Snake River, Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming in December 2020 with an auction result of USD 988,000.00 (€ 807,849.55).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Merced River, Reflection, Yosemite National Park, California, C. 1960 von Ansel Adams kam im April 2021 bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 12.500,00 (€ 10.390,69) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 10.000,00 – 15.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Ansel Adams erzielen.
