It sold for $4.6 million, which came close to the Canadian auction record, but not quite. Harris’s Mountain Forms, nearly six feet wide and five feet tall, is likely to inspire the same kind of fever. The auction house, Heffel, has put an estimate range on the piece of $3 million to $5 million, but the auction house’s estimates are famously conservative. Mountain and Glacier was pegged at a high of $1.5 million, which was unrealistic from the start. For a piece like Mountain Forms — Harris at his peak, if you’ll pardon the pun — $5 million seems similarly unlikely.
