The painting was bought in 1960 by Eliza Bliss Parkinson (the niece of Lillie P. Bliss, one of the founders of the Museum of Modern Art) from the Sidney Janis Gallery, New York before being bought in June 1960 by David Rockefeller.[1]
The work was sold in May 2007 by Sotheby's on behalf of David Rockefeller[2] to the Royal family of Qatar; Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al-Thani, and his wife, Mozah bint Nasser Al Missned.[3] The painting sold for 72.84 million (USD), then setting the record of the current most expensive post-war work of art sold at auction.[4][5]
