It sold for 124,630€—including a 24% buyer's premium.
In Amazing Grace, biographer David Leeming states that the Musée Galliera showed several of Beauford's works in their exhibition called L'Age du Jazz in May 1967.
He says that among these works were "abstractions that were attempts to convey in light and color the dynamics of jazz."
Perhaps Untitled, Paris was one of them.
