In March 2015 Sothebys in New York held the auction Contemporary Curated, which included the work Toast by Christopher Wilmarth. The »bidding war« ended at USD 23,750.00 (€ 22,111.54), 32% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by Christopher Wilmarth have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Street Leaf #4 in November 2007 with an auction result of USD 229,000.00 (€ 155,909.59).

Im März 2015 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Contemporary Curated durch, in der auch die Arbeit Toast von Christopher Wilmarth zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 23.750,00 (€ 22.111,54) und damit 32% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Christopher Wilmarth auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Street Leaf #4 im November 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 229.000,00 (€ 155.909,59).
