This artwork by John Levee achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in March 2020. In the Contemporary Art Online | New York auction, the work without title sold for USD 21,250.00 (€ 19,267.39) - well above the upper estimate of USD 9,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by John Levee - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work February Iv 1960, which sold at auction in July 2020 for USD 47,500.00 (€ 40,343.13).
