Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work A Frosty Morning No. 2 by Grandma Moses was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in October 2021. It achieved a price of USD 40,320.00 (€ 34,903.05), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 15%. 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 leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit A Frosty Morning No. 2 von Grandma Moses kam im Oktober 2021 bei Sothebys in New York zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 40.320,00 (€ 34.903,05) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 15%. 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).
