Description
Jacques Harvey (American / French, b.1939) - Homage to Gustav Klimt (Austrian, 1862-1918), Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer, Oil on Canvas.
Signed.
100x100cm.
Adele Bloch-Bauer was a Viennese socialite, salon hostess, and patron of the arts from Austria-Hungary. A Jewish woman, she is most well known for being the subject of two of artist Gustav Klimts paintings: Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I and Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer II, and the fate of the paintings during and after the Nazi Holocaust. She has been called The Austrian Mona Lisa.
During World War II, the Nazis stole Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I from Bloch-Bauer's family. It ended up in the Belvedere Gallery.
In Republic of Austria v. Altmann in 2004, Adele Bloch-Bauers niece, Maria Altmann, tried to get the painting back from the Belvedere Gallery. The Supreme Court of the United States said the painting was Altmanns. Because Altmann could not pay for insurance and storage, she sold the painting to Ronald Lauder to put in the Neue Gallery in New York City.
