A top price for Captain Richard Aldworth Oliver
When the work Sketches in the New Hebrides and New Caledonia by Captain Richard Aldworth Oliver was auctioned at Christies in London in December 2016, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 8,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 27,500.00 (€ 32,151.96). This high result makes Sketches in the New Hebrides and New Caledonia the most expensive artwork by Captain Richard Aldworth Oliver that we have observed at auctions so far.
