This artwork by Max Kalish 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 Working Man sold for USD 32,500.00 (€ 24,373.78) - well above the upper estimate of USD 15,000.00.
