This artwork by John Sennhauser achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in September 2007. In the Fine American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture auction, the work Improvisation sold for USD 25,000.00 (€ 17,582.11) - 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 Sennhauser - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Architectural Painting No. 1 - Green Circle, which sold at auction in September 2017 for USD 80,000.00 (€ 67,722.00).
