Gustav Klimt's Stolen Masterpiece

from Zócalo Public Square · host Zócalo Public Square

Washington Post writer Anne-Marie O'Connor, author of The Lady in Gold, explores the artistic and cultural ferment of Vienna--driven in part by women and Jews--at the turn of the 20th century. This was the setting in which Gustav Klimt painted his famous portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer--a painting that was then stolen by the Nazis, renamed "The Lady in Gold," and displayed for decades in Austria's national Belvedere Museum. After years-long lawsuits, Bloch-Bauer's heir, Los Angeles dressmaker Maria Altmann, won the painting back.
