Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Flatiron Building, 1938 by Berenice Abbott was auctioned at Christies in New York in September 2014. The price achieved of USD 6,250.00 (€ 4,949.32) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 5,000.00 – 7,000.00. 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).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Flatiron Building, 1938 von Berenice Abbott kam im September 2014 bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 6.250,00 (€ 4.949,32) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 5.000,00 – 7.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Berenice Abbott erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit New York At Night, 1932 im Oktober 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 87.500,00 (€ 64.366,63).
