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 The Old Bake Oven in Canada sold for USD 13,860.00 (€ 12,764.78) - well above the upper estimate of USD 7,000.00. 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 The Old Bake Oven in Canada für USD 13.860,00 (€ 12.764,78) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 7.000,00. 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).
