This artwork by Jay DeFeo achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in November 2018. In the Post-War and Contemporary Art Morning Session auction, the work Untitled (Rear Window series) sold for USD 67,500.00 (€ 59,613.18) - well above the upper estimate of USD 30,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Jay DeFeo - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Temple (For W.B.), which sold at auction in September 2013 for USD 233,000.00 (€ 172,146.29).
