A top price for George Harvey - as previously expected
The work Scenes Of The Primitive Forest Of America by George Harvey was sold in the The Magnificent Library of Norman Bobins: Part One, American Color auction at Christies in Paris in June this year. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 40,000.00 – 60,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 40,320.00 (€ 36,923.08) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Scenes Of The Primitive Forest Of America is the most expensive artwork by George Harvey that we have observed at auctions so far.
