The Lady in Gold: The Extraordinary Tale of Gustav Klimt's Masterpiece, Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer

In 2012, 150 years from the birth of the Austrian painter Gustav Klimt were celebrated. It is the year when several volumes dedicated to the painter were published, some of them providing a general view of his life and work, others presenting certain periods in his life or his less known creations. The volume The Lady in Gold: The Extraordinary Tale of Gustav Klimt's Masterpiece, Portrait of Adele BlochBauer, falls under the latter category: the book, written by Anne-Marie O'Connor, presents the history of the appearance of the famous portrait and the complex events it has gone through up to the present.
