Klimt

: Public prosecutors in Vienna have ordered the seizure of a Gustav Klimt painting sold for €15 million ($16.4 million) at TEFAF Maastricht in March.

The seizure was requested by Hungarian authorities, who claim that the work—a rare portrait of an African prince—was improperly exported, the local public broadcaster ORF reported on November 12. The seizure adds a new chapter to the painting’s already complex history.

SPIRIT OF LIGHT

Niagara Mohawk Building, Syracuse, New York — completed in 1932, this electrifying masterpiece is one of the greatest examples of Art Deco architecture in the United States. Designed by Melvin L. King, Bley & Lyman, and Wilkinson & Schenck, the building served as the headquarters for the Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation. Its radiant façade, stainless steel accents, and the iconic “Spirit of Light” figure symbolize the optimism and technological progress of the Machine Age.

Pour la dose journalière de plaisir:

Klimt. 💛

“Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I” is a brilliant painting by the Austrian artist, Gustav Klimt. It was made between 1904 and 1907 with oil on canvas, embellished with silver and gold foil. He was commissioned to make this piece by the husband of the subject, a wealthy French industrialist, Ferdinand Bloch-Bauer. It is one of Klimt’s most famous paintings and is sometimes referred to as the ‘Austrian Mona Lisa’.

Klimt took the commission in 1903 and created a slew of preparatory sketches of Adele between 1903 and 1904. In December 1903, Klimt was greatly inspired upon seeing a mosaic of “The Empress Theodora and Retinue” at the Basilica di San Vitale in Ravenna, Italy. There are also elements of Art Nouveau in the piece, especially in the gold foil surrounding Adele. In 1904, he began work on the final canvas. It took him three years to finish this painting.

In this painting, Adele is wearing a jeweled choker. Though the intricate mosaics make it somewhat difficult to discern, she is seated on a chair with two lofty arms decorated with golden spirals, visible only as they stand out against the gold-speckled background. She is wearing a dress of dense designs. Delicate gold and silver bracelets decorate her arm. Her dark hair is swept up. She has pale skin with rosy cheeks. Adele clasps her hands together in an almost awkward way. She had a deformed finger on one of her hands that she covered up during her portrait sittings. Her dress is designed with eye-like patterning against triangles all oriented in the same direction. The outer fabric of her dress flows to the floor, with decorated golden squares with semi-circles adorning it. The realism of Adele’s physical features contrasts sharply with the patterns and stylizations of the rest of the piece.

“Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I” is part of the collections of the Neue Galerie New York in New York, in the United States.
