Im November 2019 führte Christies in London die Auktion Modern | British Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Yellow Composition von John Banting zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 6.875,00 (€ 8.072,93) und damit 38% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von John Banting auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit For Social Service im September 2012 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 31.250,00 (€ 39.213,21).
