About Sacha Moldovan
Born
1901
Died
1982
Nationality
American
Sacha Moldovan (1901–1982) was an American painter described in public encyclopedia sources as Russian-born and associated with Post-Impressionist and Expressionist painting. Authority records from Wikidata, VIAF, and Getty ULAN align on his identity, while VIAF specifically identifies him as an American painter. Collectors encounter Moldovan primarily through the secondary market: Appraisily's public artist index matches 136 auction records, including 103 priced records, across sales dated from 2004 through 2026. The available market feed groups works broadly under paintings, works on paper and prints, sculpture and mixed media, and decorative art or editions, although those categories do not establish a complete catalogue of his practice. For appraisal and entity matching, his life years, American identity, painter role, and authority identifiers provide the strongest anchors. Movement labels remain qualified because the collected sources support them through Wikipedia rather than a museum, scholarly catalogue, or artist estate.
Post-ImpressionismExpressionismPainting
Common works and media
Paintings are the most securely supported work type because authority records identify Moldovan as a painter. Appraisily's auction index also places matched lots in broad categories covering works on paper and prints, sculpture and mixed media, and decorative art or editions. Those secondary categories should be verified against individual lot descriptions before being treated as representative of the artist's established body of work.
Market and appraisal context
Appraisily's collected market snapshot contains 136 matched records and 103 priced records, with reported results from $50 to $25,000 and a median near $1,250. Many listed comparables fall between approximately $550 and $3,000, but these figures describe the available record set rather than a prediction for an individual work. Useful comparisons should align on medium, dimensions, date, subject, condition, restoration, signature or inscriptions, edition details, provenance, and attribution confidence. Sale totals may treat premiums and fees differently, while private transactions and incomplete auction feeds may be absent. A work-specific appraisal should therefore examine the object and the closest documented comparable lots.

- Reported auction totals may differ in their treatment of buyer premiums and fees, so comparisons should use like-for-like figures when possible (https://appraisily.com/artist/sacha-moldovan/).
- Condition and attribution changes can materially affect how a work compares with recorded sales (https://appraisily.com/artist/sacha-moldovan/).
