Sobre este artículo
New York: Alfred A. Knopf; A Borzoi Book, 2014. xviii, 349 pages, illustrations, portraits; 25 cm. Tight, clean copy. Dust jacket protected in a mylar cover. "Contributor to the Washington Post Anne-Marie O'Connor brilliantly regales us with the galvanizing story of Gustav Klimt's 1907 masterpiece -- the breathtaking portrait of a Viennese Jewish socialite, Adele Bloch-Bauer. The celebrated painting, stolen by Nazis during World War II, subsequently became the subject of a decade-long dispute between her heirs and the Austrian government. When the U.S. Supreme Court became involved in the case, its decision had profound ramifications in the art world. Expertly researched, masterfully told, The Lady in Gold is at once a stunning depiction of fin-de sie`cle Vienna, a riveting tale of Nazi war crimes, and a fascinating glimpse into the high-stakes workings of the contemporary art world." - Publisher.. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. 8vo.
