This artwork by Georges Vantongerloo achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in June 2017. In the Impressionist and Modern Art Evening Sale auction, the work Composition dans le carré avec couleurs jaune-vert-bleu-indigo-orangé sold for GBP 1,085,000.00 (€ 1,235,612.57) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 450,000.00.
