Product information "Gustav Klimt: Picture 'Adele Bloch-Bauer I' (1907), framed"
'It is the highest sum ever paid for a painting,' reported the New York Times enthusiastically in June 2006. For the record sum of 135 million dollars, the cosmetics manufacturer Ronald Lauder purchased Gustav Klimt's famous oil painting 'Adele Bloch-Bauer I' - also known as 'Golden Adele' - for the Neue Galerie in Manhattan, New York. This icon of Art Nouveau once hung in the Belvedere Palace in Vienna as Austrian cultural heritage that could not be sold, along with 'The Kiss' and other masterpieces by the Viennese master Gustav Klimt. After years of legal wrangling, it has now been returned to the descendants of the original owners, marking the first time such a high-ranking Klimt painting has come onto the art market - and immediately eclipsing the then record price of 104.1 million dollars for a Picasso painting: Neue Galerie, New YorkFor a brilliant, authentic reproduction, the original artwork for this painting was transferred directly onto 100% cotton artist's canvas using the fine art giclée process and mounted on stretcher bars. Framed in a handcrafted, gold-coloured solid wood frame. The edition is limited to 499 copies and individually numbered on the certificate on the reverse. Format 79 x 79 cm. ars mundi exclusive edition.
