Im April 2019 führte Phillips in New York die Auktion Passion & Humanity: The Susie Tompkins Buell Collection durch, in der auch die Arbeit Easter Lily von Alma Lavenson zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 11.250,00 (€ 10.043,75) und damit 25% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Alma Lavenson auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Self-Portrait im Oktober 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 58.750,00 (€ 69.231,68).
