This artwork by Grandma Moses achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in January this year. In the 19th Century American Art auction, the work Around the Bend sold for USD 27,720.00 (€ 25,529.56) - well above the upper estimate of USD 15,000.00. 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 Januar diesen Jahres bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion 19th Century American Art wurde die Arbeit Around the Bend für USD 27.720,00 (€ 25.529,56) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 15.000,00. 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).
