About Anna Mary Moses
Born

Died

Nationality
American
Also known as
Grandma Moses, Anna Mary Robertson Moses, Robertson Moses, Anna Mary
Anna Mary Moses (1860–1961), better known as Grandma Moses and also identified as Anna Mary Robertson Moses, was an American painter commonly described in collected biographical material as a folk artist. She began painting in earnest late in life; one collected biography places her serious start at age 78, a circumstance that became central to her public reputation. Authority records from Wikidata, Getty ULAN, IdRef, and the National Gallery of Art connect her variant names to the same person. This is important because museum and auction records may index her under Grandma Moses, Anna Mary Robertson Moses, or Anna Mary Moses. Her recognition expanded during the 1950s through national media, television, a biographical documentary, and her 1952 autobiography. Collectors consequently encounter her through both original art and an extensive popular legacy. For sound entity matching, the artist's name variant, medium, date, signature or inscription, provenance, and correspondence with securely attributed examples should be considered together.
Painting
Common works and media
Painting is the best-supported core medium in the collected identity sources. Appraisily's matched auction data also places records under works on paper and prints, mixed media or sculpture, and decorative art or editions. Those broad categories describe search and market records rather than a verified catalogue of Moses's output. A collector should therefore confirm the precise medium, support, dimensions, date, signature or inscription, provenance, condition, and attribution before treating a non-painting object or edition as a reliable comparable.
Market and appraisal context
Appraisily's matched public-auction index includes records dated from 2002 through 2025 and associates this artist name with paintings and fine art, works on paper and prints, mixed media or sculpture, and decorative art or editions. These categories are useful search lanes, not proof that every matched lot is an authentic work by Moses. A defensible appraisal compares like with like: medium, dimensions, date, condition and restoration, signature or inscriptions, edition information, provenance, exhibition or catalogue references, subject matter, and attribution confidence. Realized prices should be compared on consistent fee terms and against recent, genuinely similar public sales. Private transactions and incomplete auction feeds may not be visible.
