In January 2020 Christies in New York held the auction Outsider Art, which included the work Nellie Mae Seated on Bench, circa 1980 by Nellie Mae Rowe. The »bidding war« ended at USD 5,625.00 (€ 5,070.77), 41% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Nellie Mae Rowe - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Orange Mule Prancing, 1980, which sold at auction in January 2019 for USD 22,500.00 (€ 19,643.79).
