This artwork by Esphyr Slobodkina achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in October 2021. In the Two Centuries: American Art auction, the work Flame Throwers sold for USD 30,240.00 (€ 26,177.29) - well above the upper estimate of USD 15,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Esphyr Slobodkina - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Toys in the Attic, which sold at auction in July last year for USD 69,300.00 (€ 67,927.86).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Esphyr Slobodkina erzielte im Oktober 2021 bei Sothebys in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Two Centuries: American Art wurde die Arbeit Flame Throwers für USD 30.240,00 (€ 26.177,29) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 15.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Esphyr Slobodkina mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Toys in the Attic beobachtet, die im Juli letzten Jahres für USD 69.300,00 (€ 67.927,86) versteigert wurde.
