Upper estimate price exceeded by 26 %.
The work New York at Night by Berenice Abbott was sold in the Photographs from the Ginny Williams Collection auction at Sothebys in New York in December 2020. It achieved a price of USD 6,300.00 (€ 5,151.27), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 26%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Berenice Abbott achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work New York At Night, 1932 in October 2013 with an auction result of USD 87,500.00 (€ 64,366.63).
