Upper estimate price exceeded by 89 %.
This artwork by Grandma Moses achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in March 2021. In the Two Centuries: American Art auction, the work The Norton Home sold for USD 56,700.00 (€ 48,284.08) - 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 89 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Grandma Moses erzielte im März 2021 bei Sothebys in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Two Centuries: American Art wurde die Arbeit The Norton Home für USD 56.700,00 (€ 48.284,08) 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).
