Sotheby's has pulled together a cuvee of spectacular modern and contemporary gems for its June 27 headline summer sale in London.
His Mona Lisa: One of Klimt's very last portraits of Viennese beauties, Dame Mit Fächer , 1918, was found resting on an easel upon his death in 1918.Sotheby's has pulled together a cuvee of spectacular modern and contemporary gems for its June 27 headline summer sale in London, including Lucien Freud's, thought to have the muscle to call forth $7.6 million, among a host of others.
Klimt did over 20 designs for Ms. Flöge's dresses, which became all the rage as her massive business took off. The phoenix, or firebird, on the Japanese silk draped behind the model does literally seem as if it emanates from her head. The bird is an expression of her power and her thought, Klimt is telling us. Her gaze is one for the ages, self assured, ready for whatever the world brings next. It's in stark contrast, and somehow amplified by, her nakedness — she's draped, but only nominally, in one of Klimt's trademark robes.
By the onset of WWI, Klimt had long since fallen in love with Asian art and tapestry, and in particular with the otherworldly designs in painting, ceramics and fabric emanating from Japanese masters.
