The work Metamorfosis (Medioevo) (Metamorphosis (Medieval)) by Manuel Rivera was sold in the Post-War and Contemporary Art Day Auction auction at Christies in London in June 2011. It achieved a price of GBP 51,650.00 (€ 57,141.12), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 72%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Manuel Rivera - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Espeso para una catedral, which sold at auction in February 2008 for GBP 120,500.00 (€ 157,609.27).
