Oilman David Arrington’s giant Ansel Adams photo gets $988,000 at auction
The mural-size print is believed to be one of fewer than 10 in existence, according to the auction house Sotheby’s.
Sotheby’s New York, the auction house, said Tuesday that
The Grand Tetons and the Snake River, Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming sold for $988,000, a record price for Adams at auction.
The photograph, taken on commission for the Department of Interior in 1942, shows a view of the mountains over Jackson Hole. Sotheby’s said it’s believed to be one of fewer than 10 mural-size prints of the image in existence and was acquired from the photographer’s descendants.
