The boxed collection sold at Christie's auction in 2000 for $4935. Five years later the box sold for $9600, the lower end of the estimate. Only two years after that, the Serra piece alone fetched $12,738. In 2009 the Nauman record, at a Phillips de Pury & Company auction, had an estimate of between three and four hundred dollars. It sold for $1625.
