In November 2016 Christies in New York held the auction American Art, which included the work Union Troops Entraining by David Gilmour Blythe. The »bidding war« ended at USD 112,500.00 (€ 106,352.81), 41% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by David Gilmour Blythe - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Family Prayers and The Sequel: A Pair of Works, which sold at auction in January 2024 for USD 252,000.00 (€ 220,241.22).
