## About Sacha Moldovan

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.

## 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.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine public artist-identity research with matched auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, reported realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. Private sales, incomplete feeds, and later attribution changes may not be reflected.
