The work Owl Soup (Dynamic Friend) by Blair Thurman was auctioned at Christies in New York in December 2021. It achieved a price of USD 15,000.00 (€ 13,253.22), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 50%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Blair Thurman - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Jiffy Pop I (CCKSCKR HAT III), which sold at auction in December 2015 for GBP 37,500.00 (€ 50,923.20).
