Summary:
"The spellbinding story, part fairy
tale
, part suspense, of
Gustav
Klimt
's
Portrait
of
Adele
Bloch-Bauer
, one of the most emblematic portraits of its time; of the beautiful, seductive Viennese Jewish salon hostess who sat for it; the notorious artist who painted it; the now vanished turn-of-the-century Vienna that shaped it; and the strange twisted fate that befell it. The
Lady
in
Gold
, considered an unforgettable
masterpiece
, one of the twentieth century'
s
most recognizable paintings, made headlines all over the world when Ronald Lauder bought it for $135 million a century after
Klimt
, the most famous Austrian painter of his time, completed the society
portrait
. . . . A riveting social history; an illuminating and haunting look at turn-of-the-century Vienna; a brilliant
portrait
of the evolution of a painter; a masterfully told
tale
of suspense. And at the heart of it, the
Lady
in Gold--the shimmering painting, and its equally irresistible subject, the fate of each forever intertwined."--Overdrive.
