On November 8, 2006 Christie's auctioned off four paintings by Gustav Klimt which had been recovered by the Bloch-Bauer family from Austria. The auction was until 2013, the highest grossing auction of all time. See www.nytimes.com/2006/11/09/art...

Klimt was a genius with brush and paint. He is one of my all-time favorites.

This is a historic scene. I'm thrilled to actually see it, at last. This event - and Mr. Schoenberg's role it - is THE defining moment in the history of art restitution.

+TheStockwell Holy Cow... jutubaeh is smoking something I don't want to even have a second hand breath of. I've spent the past three days watching the deposition, history and evolution of this case. Randol Schoenberg has nothing but my greatest admiration for being the avenue of some restitution for the family.

@TheStockwell 8 жыл бұрын

+Michael Malone I couldn't agree more. Mr. Schoenberg has moved on to other issues. The Klimt case is now a matter of history but, whatever else Schoenberg does in the year ahead, this case was his "Atticus Finch" moment, the one he can feel proud he'll be remembered for.

The scene at 17:33 is so amusing. You let the children scramble for the low biddings, and after the weaker ones are thrown out of the ring. With only one last contender standing with the ring clear, you swoop in with your 78 million dollars and hit them with one two punch. And game over just like that. That is how you do auctions with style.

The provenance of these works is impeccable. They went from Klimt’s studio to the home of Adele Bloch-Bauer. Then they were confiscated by the Nazi’s who were very good at documenting everything. A lawyer named Furher arranged their sale to the Belvedere Museum, which then had to surrender them to Maria Altman.

Yes, Oprah did buy it. Then this happened, from Wiki ... "The painting was temporarily lent to Neue Galerie New York for the exhibition “Klimt and the Women of Vienna’s Golden Age, 1900-1918.” Bought by a Chinese fellow for $150 million. Bye bye to this painting - good luck in ever seeing it again in person. Wonderful end to the story, right?! Would have been better to have left it for display in Austria, as Maria claimed she wanted to happen.
