Auction result well in line with expectations
In November 2021 Sothebys in New York held the auction American Art, which included the work The Home of Hezekiah King by Grandma Moses. It changed hands for a price of USD 69,300.00 (€ 61,398.07) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of USD 50,000.00 – 70,000.00. 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).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im November 2021 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion American Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Home of Hezekiah King von Grandma Moses zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von USD 69.300,00 (€ 61.398,07) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 50.000,00 – 70.000,00. 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).
