In March 2021 Sothebys in New York held the auction Majestic America: Property from an Important Western Collector, Part II, which included the work The Friendly Willows by Tom Lovell. The »bidding war« ended at USD 138,600.00 (€ 118,027.76), 73% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Tom Lovell - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Catchers of Wild Horses, which sold at auction in October 2020 for USD 312,500.00 (€ 268,309.44).
