Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Raoul de Keyser achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in May 2017. In the Contemporary Art Day Auction auction, the work Proloog sold for USD 162,500.00 (€ 144,624.42) - well above the upper estimate of USD 80,000.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Raoul de Keyser; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Kalklijn (Chalk Line) sold at auction in November 2019 with the realized price of EUR 237,500.00.
