LONDON - The last portrait painted by Gustav Klimt was sold in London on Tuesday for £74 million S$127 million), setting a new European art auction record.The previous auction record for an artwork sold in Europe was for Alberto Giacometti’s “Walking Man I”, which went for £65 million in February 2010.
Helena Newman, from Sotheby’s, said earlier it was painted during Klimt’s artistic prime, when he was producing some of his most famous and experimental works. “This, though, is something completely different – a technical tour de force, full of boundary-pushing experimentation, as well as a heartfelt ode to absolute beauty.”
Klimt portraits rarely come onto the open market. Sotheby’s said the only other of the same standard - “Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer II” - sold for $87.9 million at Christie’s in New York in 2006.Two portraits are reported to have been sold privately for more than US$100 million each.
