In November 2017 Christies in New York held the auction Post-War & Contemporary Art Afternoon Session, which included the work Alignment #51 by Brent Wadden. The »bidding war« ended at USD 81,250.00 (€ 68,288.79), 35% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Brent Wadden - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Alignment (13), which sold at auction in June 2015 for GBP 122,500.00 (€ 172,723.46).
