In February 2019 Sothebys in New York held the auction The Gilded Age Revisited: Property from a Distinguished American Collection, which included the work Picking Flowers by Daniel Ridgway Knight. The »bidding war« ended at USD 137,500.00 (€ 120,836.63), 72% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Daniel Ridgway Knight - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Coming from the Garden, which sold at auction in November 2000 for USD 402,000.00 (€ 462,387.85).
