In February 2006, an oil painting of his controversial and iconic series ''Le Bœuf Écorché'' (1924) sold for a record £7.8 million ($13.8 million) to an anonymous buyer at a Christie's auction held in London—after it was estimated to fetch £4.8 million. In February 2007, a 1921 portrait of an unidentified man with a red scarf (''L'Homme au Foulard Rouge'') sold for $17.2 million—a new record—at Sotheby's London auction house.

One of the beef paintings, known as ''Le bœuf'', circa 1923, was sold for $1 million in 2004 and resold six months later for twice that price to the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. Heirs of the first seller sued to have the painting returned, claiming the price was unfairly low, and a complex settlement in 2009 required the painting to be transferred to them.<ref>{{cite web | author=Mitchell Martin |title=Soutine Suit Settled Over Bargain Beef |url=http://blouinartinfo.com/news/story/274126/soutine-suit-settled-over-bargain-beef/|work=ArtInfo |date=1 June 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180919162632/http://blouinartinfo.com/news/story/274126/soutine-suit-settled-over-bargain-beef/ |archive-date=19 September 2018 }}</ref> In May 2015, ''Le Bœuf'' achieved a record price for the artist of $28,165,000 at the Christie's curated auction ''Looking forward to the past''.<ref>{{cite web |title=Chaim Soutine (1893-1943) Le Bœuf |url=https://www.christies.com/en/lot/lot-5895984}}</ref>
