Gustav Klimt’s Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I is one of the most dazzling and recognizable works of modern art. Created during the artist’s celebrated Golden Phase, the painting combines intricate ornament, symbolic imagery and extraordinary technical precision.
This documentary explores Klimt’s rise in turn-of-the-century Vienna, his relationship with Adele Bloch-Bauer, the Nazi seizure of the painting and the decades-long legal battle led by Maria Altmann to recover her family’s stolen legacy. It also reveals how the portrait ultimately became one of the most expensive artworks ever sold.
