Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer II

$4,900

Description:

Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer II (1912) is a striking painting by Austrian artist Gustav Klimt, created as a follow-up to his earlier and more famous Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I (1907). While the first portrait is known for its opulent gold detailing and intricate ornamentation, Adele Bloch-Bauer II presents a more modern, expressive, and colorful composition. Adele, a prominent Viennese socialite and patron of the arts, is the only woman Klimt painted twice in full-length portrait.

This second portrait shows Adele in a long patterned dress, with bolder brushwork and flatter color planes. The style reflects Klimt’s evolution toward a more abstract and avant-garde approach, influenced by Fauvism and Expressionism. In 2006, Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer II sold for nearly $88 million, making it one of the most expensive artworks ever sold at that time. The painting stands as a powerful example of Klimt’s shift from ornamental symbolism to expressive modernism.

Artist:

Gustav Klimt (1862–1918) was an Austrian symbolist painter and one of the most prominent members of the Vienna Secession movement. Known for his richly decorative and sensual style, Klimt often explored themes of love, beauty, and the human form—particularly the female body. His use of gold leaf, intricate patterns, and symbolism created an instantly recognizable aesthetic, most famously seen in his masterpiece The Kiss.

Klimt’s work blended fine art with ornamental design, drawing from Byzantine, Egyptian, and Japanese influences. Though controversial in his time for its eroticism, his art is now celebrated for its innovation and emotional depth. Klimt left a lasting legacy in both modern and decorative art, bridging traditional portraiture and avant-garde experimentation.
