The work Montone Still Life by William H. Bailey was sold in the First Open Post -War and Contemporary Art auction at Christies in New York in September 2008. The »bidding war« ended at USD 40,000.00 (€ 28,407.07), 33% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by William H. Bailey - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Silent Plain, which sold at auction in May 2015 for USD 81,250.00 (€ 73,903.95).
