"Adele Bloch-Bauer I" by Gustav Klimt, limited fine art giclée reproduction

"It is the highest sum that has ever been paid for a painting," reported the New York Times enthusiastically in June 2006. For the record amount of $ 135 million, the cosmetics manufacturer Ronald Lauder Gustav Klimt's famous oil painting "Adele Bloch -Bauer I" - also known as "Golden Adele" - for the new gallery in Manhattan, New York. The icon of Art Nouveau was once hung as an unsalable Austrian cultural heritage with the "kiss" and other masterpieces of the Viennese master Gustav Klimt in the Belvedere in Vienna. After years of legal dispute, it has now been returned to the descendants of the original owners. In this way, such a high-ranking climate painting came to the art market for the first time-and immediately put the highest brand of $ 104.1 million far in the shade for a Picasso picture.
