This artwork by Grandma Moses achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in November 2021. In the American Art auction, the work A Frosty Morning sold for USD 60,000.00 (€ 53,158.50) - 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).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Grandma Moses erzielte im November 2021 bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion American Art wurde die Arbeit A Frosty Morning für USD 60.000,00 (€ 53.158,50) 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).
