👀Klimt portrait 'Lady with a Fan' up for sale with $80M estimate - KPRC2
Auctioneer Sothebys said on Wednesday June 14, 2023, that Dame mit Fcher Lady with a Fan will go up for sale June 27 in London, with an estimated price of 65 million pounds . Auctioneer Sotheby’s said on Wednesday that “Dame mit Fächer” — Lady with a Fan — will go up for sale June 27 in London, with an estimated price of 65 million pounds .
The last portrait Klimt completed before his death in 1918, the painting shows an unidentified woman against a resplendent, China-influenced backdrop of dragons and lotus blossoms.Sotheby’s head of impressionist and modern art department, Helena Newman, said the portrait was “a technical tour de force, full of boundary-pushing experimentation, as well as a heartfelt ode to absolute beauty.”
Famed for his bold, daring art nouveau paintings, Klimt was a key figure in artistic modernism at the start of the 20th century. His work has fetched some of the highest prices for any artist. Klimt’s “Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer II” sold at auction in 2006 for $87.9 million, and his landscape “Birch Forest” sold at Sotheby’s last year for $104.6 million.The most expensive artworks auctioned in Europe, in dollar prices, are Alberto Giacometti’s sculpture “Walking Man I,” sold for $104.
The world auction record for an artwork is the $450.3 million paid in 2017 for Leonardo da Vinci’s “Salvator Mundi” — though some experts dispute whether the panting of Jesus Christ is wholly the work of the Renaissance master.
