This artwork by Bruno Schulz achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in December 2017. In the Israeli & International Art auction, the work Sketch For The Story, My Father Joins The Fire sold for USD 50,000.00 (€ 41,590.42) - well above the upper estimate of USD 20,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Bruno Schulz - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A Woman Seated On A Couch, A Man At Her Shoe, which sold at auction in December 2013 for USD 118,750.00 (€ 86,181.87).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Bruno Schulz erzielte im Dezember 2017 bei Sothebys in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Israeli & International Art wurde die Arbeit Sketch For The Story, My Father Joins The Fire für USD 50.000,00 (€ 41.590,42) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 20.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Bruno Schulz mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit A Woman Seated On A Couch, A Man At Her Shoe beobachtet, die im Dezember 2013 für USD 118.750,00 (€ 86.181,87) versteigert wurde.
