This artwork by John Ferren achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in March 2012. In the Fine American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture Including the Collection of Dr. Mark and Irene Kauffman auction, the work Untitled No. 12 sold for USD 32,500.00 (€ 24,373.78) - well above the upper estimate of USD 12,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by John Ferren - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work without title, which sold at auction in October 2007 for USD 109,000.00 (€ 75,338.68).
