Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Portrait of Captain John Harvey (1740-1794), half-length by Richard Livesay was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in October 2021, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 4,000.00 – 6,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 2,394.00 (€ 2,072.37). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Richard Livesay - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Two Springer Spaniels In A Rocky Landscape, which sold at auction in October 2011 for GBP 6,250.00 (€ 7,233.19).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Portrait of Captain John Harvey (1740-1794), half-length von Richard Livesay im Oktober 2021 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 4.000,00 – 6.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 2.394,00 (€ 2.072,37) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Richard Livesay mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Two Springer Spaniels In A Rocky Landscape beobachtet, die im Oktober 2011 für GBP 6.250,00 (€ 7.233,19) versteigert wurde.
