A top price for Henry Livens - as previously expected
In March 2002 Christies in London held the auction British, Victorian and Scottish Pictures including Pictures, which included the work Spring blossom and a bird's nest with eggs on a mossy bank by Henry Livens. The price achieved of GBP 1,410.00 (€ 2,304.98) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 1,200.00 – 1,800.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Spring blossom and a bird's nest with eggs on a mossy bank is the most expensive artwork by Henry Livens that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im März 2002 führte Christies in London die Auktion British, Victorian and Scottish Pictures including Pictures durch, in der auch die Arbeit Spring blossom and a bird's nest with eggs on a mossy bank von Henry Livens zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 1.410,00 (€ 2.304,98) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 1.200,00 – 1.800,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Spring blossom and a bird's nest with eggs on a mossy bank das teuerste Kunstwerk von Henry Livens, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
