In October 2021 Sothebys in New York held the auction Two Centuries: American Art, which included the work The Prophet by Paul F. Keene Jr.. The »bidding war« ended at USD 16,380.00 (€ 14,179.36), 64% above the upper estimate. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Paul F. Keene Jr.; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Black Economic Life sold at auction in November 2021 with the realized price of USD 22,680.00 (€ 20,093.91).
