In October 2018 Christies in New York held the auction The Collection of Melva Bucksbaum: Post-War and Contemporary Art, Photographs and Prints, which included the work Arthur Rothstein "Hayti, Missouri. Cotton Carnival. Oldest Couple" by Francis Ruyter. The »bidding war« ended at USD 13,750.00 (€ 12,133.78), 38% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Francis Ruyter - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work City of Women, which sold at auction in February 2007 for USD 42,000.00 (€ 31,746.03).

Für andere Arbeiten von Francis Ruyter mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit City of Women beobachtet, die im Februar 2007 für USD 42.000,00 (€ 31.746,03) versteigert wurde.
