I do think it's true to say that on occasion you'll see a contemporary work sell at auction at a price below that which it sold for through a dealer gallery. (Or works simply going for less than what they are "worth"). That's the nature of the market. It is potentially harmful for the artist's primary market or reputation, and that's unfortunate. In the bigger scheme of things though, periods and types of work go in and out of fashion and prices vary correspondingly.
