Biografia

Gustav Klimt (1862-1918) co-founded the Vienna Secession in 1897 and became the defining painter of fin-de-siècle Vienna. His golden phase, culminating in The Kiss and the Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I, fused gold leaf, Byzantine ornament and frank sensuality; he also painted luminous square-format landscapes of the Attersee. His output of paintings is small, many works are in Austrian museums, and several have restitution histories, so top examples reach auction rarely. That scarcity has produced the strongest prices in early modern art: in November 2025 his Portrait of Elisabeth Lederer sold for $236.4 million at Sotheby's New York, a record for any modern work at auction, while drawings provide a much more accessible tier.
