This artwork by Vicente Silva Manansala achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Hong Kong in November 2015. In the Asian 20th Century Art (Day Sale) auction, the work Candle Vendor sold for HKD 2,080,000.00 (€ 254,042.79) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 1,000,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Vicente Silva Manansala - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Tiangge (Market Scene), which sold at auction in November this year for HKD 8,190,000.00 (€ 961,056.11).
