After the Harrises divorced, the home was supposedly sold on May 13, 2008 for $15 million at auction by Christie's as a part of a high-profile sale of contemporary art.[2]; The house had a presale estimate of $15 million to $25 million.[1] The sale later fell through, as the bidder breached terms of the purchase agreement *.
The restoration was critically lauded. Today, most critics place the Kaufman House amongst the 'five most important houses of the 20th century', with the likes of Fallingwater, Robie House, Gropius House and the Gamble House, all located in the United States.
