Upper estimate price exceeded by 75 %.
This artwork by Grandma Moses achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in March 2020. In the American Art Online auction, the work Home For Christmas sold for USD 52,500.00 (€ 47,601.78) - well above the upper estimate of USD 30,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Grandma Moses achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Sugaring Off in November 2006 with an auction result of USD 1,360,000.00 (€ 1,025,563.68).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 75 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Grandma Moses erzielte im März 2020 bei Sothebys in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion American Art Online wurde die Arbeit Home For Christmas für USD 52.500,00 (€ 47.601,78) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 30.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Grandma Moses erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Sugaring Off im November 2006 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 1.360.000,00 (€ 1.025.563,68).
