This artwork by Felix De Recondo achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in September 2015. In the Out of the Ordinary auction, the work The Cigar Smoker sold for GBP 2,375.00 (€ 3,216.31) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 1,200.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Felix De Recondo - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work La Femme Assise Ou Femme A La Coiffure, 1987, which sold at auction in March 2011 for EUR 7,395.00.
