FAQ About Gustav Klimt

Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I (1907) is one of Gustav Klimt's most significant works, known for its opulent use of gold and intricate details. The portrait is significant not only for its artistic value but also for its tumultuous history during and after World War II. It was seized by the Nazis and later became the subject of a high-profile restitution case, eventually being returned to the Bloch-Bauer's family and subsequently sold to the Neue Galerie in New York.
