The work The City by DAZE was auctioned at Phillips in New York in February 2017. It achieved a price of USD 8,750.00 (€ 8,240.72), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 46%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by DAZE - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work without title, which sold at auction in October 2019 for USD 25,000.00 (€ 22,411.47).
