In April last year Christies in New York held the auction Photographs, which included the work "El: Second and Third Avenue Lines Bowery and Division Street, Manhattan, 1936 by Berenice Abbott. The »bidding war« ended at USD 10,710.00 (€ 10,164.18), 34% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by Berenice Abbott have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work New York At Night, 1932 in October 2013 with an auction result of USD 87,500.00 (€ 64,366.63).

Im April letzten Jahres führte Christies in New York die Auktion Photographs durch, in der auch die Arbeit "El: Second and Third Avenue Lines Bowery and Division Street, Manhattan, 1936 von Berenice Abbott zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 10.710,00 (€ 10.164,18) und damit 34% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Berenice Abbott auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit New York At Night, 1932 im Oktober 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 87.500,00 (€ 64.366,63).
