As the world's most expensive painting was carefully uncrated in New York.The new owner waited to see the work that literally 2 cost him a fortune.
I just absolutely adore it.
Gustav Klimt's gilded 3 masterpiece,the portrait of Adele,cost Ronald Lauder a record-breaking 135 million dollars. Did you hold your breath for a moment, saying, you know, I don't know if I can do this? Sometimes ,now I look back and say ‘how did I do it’.Er,but at the moment when it was a question of buying it, it took me about 2 seconds to say "Yes."
In his first television interview since buying the work, Lauder said today it would become the star of his museum. The Neue Galerie, a lifelong collector. Each piece, I remember when I got it...
He's heir to the Estée Lauder cosmetics 4 fortune and worth an estimated 2.7 billion dollars. But I have to imagine that even for you; this is a lot of money. Er,this was not a question of money, This was a question of something so special.This piece is priceless.
Klimt painted Adele Bloch-Bauer in 1907, the daughter of a Jewish sugar magnate. She was reported to be the artist's lover. But in 1938, when the Nazis 5 invaded Austria, the painting was looted. After an epic 6 legal battle, Adele's portrait was finally returned to her heirs in Los Angeles earlier this year. They then decided 7 to sell it.
On the final leg of its incredible journey, the gold portrait was brought from Los Angeles in an unmarked armored truck shadowed by 2 security cars. They traveled non-stop for 3 days and nights across the country to bring the world's most expensive painting here to New York.
Maria Altmann, Adele's 90-year-old niece, came to see her aunt's portrait today and said the painting. "He's found its home here. It makes us all very happy. “Installed behind bullet-proof glass, the shimmering 8 Adele will soon be on public display. The painting's price tag is now as rich as its history.
