A large collection of photographs owned by Irving Penn’s assistant Patricia McCabe soared to $3.85 million this week, with 70 lots earning 100 percent sell-through rates by lot and by value, at Christie's in New York.

The top lot of the collection was Penn's striking 1977 platinum-palladium print of two Guedra dancers of Goulimine, Morroco, which easily transcended its $40–60,000 estimate to a remarkable $314,500.
