Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In January 2003 Christies in London held the auction British and Continental Pictures and Works on Paper, which included the work Plums, apples, grapes and a peach, on a mossy bank by Henry Livens. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 600.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 646.25 (€ 989.81). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Henry Livens - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Spring blossom and a bird's nest with eggs on a mossy bank, which sold at auction in March 2002 for GBP 1,410.00 (€ 2,304.98).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Januar 2003 führte Christies in London die Auktion British and Continental Pictures and Works on Paper durch, in der auch die Arbeit Plums, apples, grapes and a peach, on a mossy bank von Henry Livens zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 600,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 646,25 (€ 989,81) einen neuen Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Henry Livens mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Spring blossom and a bird's nest with eggs on a mossy bank beobachtet, die im März 2002 für GBP 1.410,00 (€ 2.304,98) versteigert wurde.
