## About Gaston Bogaerts

Gaston Bogaerts (1921–2022) was a Belgian musician, writer, and painter whose public identity spans popular music and visual art. He is documented as a percussionist associated with The Chakachas, the Belgian-based group known internationally for the 1972 recording Jungle Fever. He also wrote two books about music and turned substantial attention to painting after his music career. Artist authority systems record his name in several forms, including Gaston Bogaert and Gaston Edmond H. Bogaerts, an important consideration when matching catalogues and auction records. Collectors may therefore encounter his work through a name better known in music history than in standard accounts of twentieth-century art. The collected sources do not establish a formal movement, characteristic subject, or defined series, so individual works should be assessed through their physical characteristics, documentation, signatures, and securely matched auction comparables rather than through an assumed stylistic classification.

## Common works and media

The collected market summary groups works under paintings, works on paper and prints, sculpture and mixed media, and decorative art or editions. These are broad auction categories rather than a verified catalogue of Bogaerts's practice. Painting is independently supported as an artistic occupation, while other formats should be confirmed from the individual object's medium, construction, signature, inscriptions, and provenance before attribution or comparison.

## Market and appraisal context

Public auction records provide a starting point for evaluating works attributed to Gaston Bogaerts, but broad artist-name matches require object-level review. Useful comparisons should align as closely as possible on medium, dimensions, date, subject, condition, restoration, signature or inscription, and attribution language. Provenance, exhibition history, catalogue references, and edition information may also affect how a work compares with recorded sales. Reported auction prices are not always presented on the same basis: some may include a buyer's premium or other fees, while private sales and incomplete feeds remain outside the visible record. A credible appraisal should therefore examine the object directly and use several relevant, recent public comparables rather than treating an overall artist median or observed range as a prediction.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine artist identity research with matched public auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. Identity variants and object-level evidence should be reviewed before relying on a market match.
