Upper estimate price exceeded by 37 %.
The work The Lonely Tramp or Traveler by Grandma Moses was auctioned at Christies in New York in January this year. It achieved a price of USD 81,900.00 (€ 75,428.26), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 37%. 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 37 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit The Lonely Tramp or Traveler von Grandma Moses kam im Januar diesen Jahres bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 81.900,00 (€ 75.428,26) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 37%. 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).
