(CNN) — A portrait by Gustav Klimt that was unseen for almost a century is expected to fetch millions when it goes up for auction this spring.
The “Portrait of Fräulein Lieser,” thought to be one of the Austrian painter’s final works, is expected to fetch up to $54 million at a sale that has created huge excitement in the art world.
The painting had long been considered lost, according to Vienna auction house im Kinsky.
However, it has now emerged that it had been privately owned by an Austrian citizen.
“The rediscovery of this portrait, one of the most beautiful of Klimt’s last creative period, is a sensation,” the auction house said in a press statement on its website.
The intensely vivid and colorful piece had been documented in catalogues of the artist’s work, but experts had only seen it in a black and white photo.
The sitter is known to have been a member of a wealthy Austrian Jewish family who were then part of the upper class of Viennese society, where Klimt found his patrons and clients.
Nevertheless, her identity is not completely certain.
Brothers Adolf and Justus Lieser were leading industrialists in the Austro-Hungarian empire.
Catalogues of Klimt’s work state that Adolf commissioned the artist to paint his teenage daughter Margarethe Constance.
However, new research by the auction house suggests Justus’ wife, Lilly, hired him to paint one of their two daughters.
The statement on the auctioneer’s website reveals that the sitter — whoever she was — visited Klimt’s studio nine times in April and May 1917.
He made at least 25 preliminary studies and most likely began the painting in the May of that year.
“The painter chose a three-quarter portrait for his depiction and shows the young woman in a strictly frontal pose, close to the foreground, against a red, undefined background. A cape richly decorated with flowers is draped around her shoulders,” the auction house said.
It added:
“The intense colors of the painting and the shift towards loose, open brushstrokes show Klimt at the height of his late period.”
When the artist died of a stroke the following February, the painting was still in his studio - with some small parts not quite finished. It was then given to the Lieser family.
Its exact fate after 1925 is “unclear,” according to the auction house.
“What is known is that it was acquired by a legal predecessor of the consignor in the 1960s and went to the current owner through three successive inheritances,” the statement said.
"The painting is to be sold on behalf of its Austrian owners, who have not been named, along with the legal successors of 'Adolf and Henriette Lieser based on an agreement in accordance with the Washington Principles of 1998,'” the auction house said.
Established in 1998, the Washington Principles charged participating nations with returning Nazi-confiscated art to their rightful owners.
Claudia Mörth-Gasser, specialist in modern art at im Kinsky, explained the situation in an email to CNN.
She said the auctioneer checked the painting’s history and provenance “in all possible ways in Austria,” adding:
“We have checked all archives and have found no evidence that the painting has ever been exported out of Austria, confiscated or looted.
But by the same token, she added:
“We have no proof that the painting has not ever been looted in the time gap between 1938 and 1945.”
"And this is the reason why we arranged an agreement between the present owner and all descendants of the Lieser family in accordance to the ‘Washington Principles,’” she said.
Klimt’s portraits of women “are seldom offered at auctions,” the press release states.
It continues:
“A painting of such rarity, artistic significance, and value has not been available on the art market in Central Europe for decades.
The painting will tour internationally ahead of the sale on April 24, stopping in Switzerland, Germany, Britain and Hong Kong."
The last portrait completed by Klimt became the most expensive artwork ever to sell at a European auction, when it fetched a staggering £85.3 million ($108.4 million) in London last year.
Depicting an unidentified female subject, “Dame mit Fächer” (Lady with a Fan) also established a new record for Klimt, outselling “Birch Forest,” which went for $104.6 million in a sale from the collection of the late Microsoft co-founder Paul G. Allen in 2022.
Gustav Klimt (14 July 1862 – 6 February 1918) was an Austrian symbolist painter and one of the most prominent members of the Vienna Secession movement.

researching film and television for my history degree led me to realise that hiring actors to play bad guys sometimes just means finding a bad guy and putting him in front of a camera or in a recording booth
makes it easier if they’re a piece of shit in the first place i guess

Gustav Klimt Portrait Found After Vanishing Nearly 100 Years Ago
It is one of the last works the artist painted before his death in 1918.
One of the last paintings by the renowned Austrian artist Gustav Klimt has miraculously been found after vanishing nearly 100 years ago.
The painting, titled Portrait of Fräulein Lieser, was found in Vienna after last being seen by the public in 1925. Until now, the only known photograph of the painting had been held in the archives of the Austrian National Library. The picture was likely taken in 1925 in connection with the Klimt exhibition by Otto Kallir-Nirenstein in the Neue Galerie, Vienna.
Since then, its location had been a mystery.
"The rediscovery of this portrait, one of the most beautiful of Klimt's last creative period, is a sensation," said the im Kinsky auction house in a statement announcing the discovery. "As a key figure of Viennese Art Nouveau, Gustav Klimt epitomizes fin de siècle Austrian Modernism more than any other artist. His work, particularly his portraits of successful women from the upper middle class at the turn of the century, enjoy the highest recognition worldwide."
The work of art will go up for auction at the im Kinsky auction house in Vienna on April 24 and is expected to fetch millions on the market.
"Klimt's paintings rank in the top echelons of the international art market. His portraits of women are seldom offered at auctions. A painting of such rarity, artistic significance, and value has not been available on the art market in Central Europe for decades," im Kinsky auction house said. "This also applies to Austria, where no work of art of even approximate importance has been available."
The painting will now travel worldwide on short exhibitions until it is auctioned and is set to be presented at various locations internationally, including stops in Switzerland, Germany, Great Britain and Hong Kong.
The model for the painting is labeled as Fräulein Lieser, also known as Margarethe Constance Lieser (1899-1965), daughter of the Austrian industrial magnate Adolf Lieser. But new research by the im Kinsky auction house into the history and provenance of the masterpiece has opened up the possibility that Klimt's model could have been another member of the Lieser family -- either Helene Lieser (1898-1962), the first-born of Henriette Amalie Lieser-Landau and Justus Lieser, or their younger daughter, Annie Lieser (1901-1972), according to officials.
"In April and May 1917, the sitter visited Klimt's studio in Hietzing nine times to pose for him," im Kinsky said. "Klimt probably began the painting in May 1917. The painter chose a three-quarter portrait for his depiction and shows the young woman in a strictly frontal pose, close to the foreground, against a red, undefined background. A cape richly decorated with flowers is draped around her shoulders."
The portrait is thought to be one of Klimt's last paintings and was done shortly before he died of a stroke on Feb. 6, 1918. The painting was left, with several small portions of it unfinished, in his studio and it is thought that the painting was given to the family who had commissioned it after his death.
The painting, however, would soon vanish and the exact fate of the painting after 1925 is unclear.
"What is known is that it was acquired by a legal predecessor of the consignor in the 1960s and went to the current owner through three successive inheritances," im Kinsky auction house said.

lost klimt portrait shows up in vienna :0
Fräulein Lieser ("Miss Lieser") has never been on public display since its creation in 1917 - you are now looking at the painting in color for (probably) the first time ever.
The current owner inherited the painting in 2022 - it originally came to be in the possession of their predecessors in the 1960s, but it is unclear how the painting came to be in the first buyer's possession. There is no information available about whether or not the painting had to be relinquished, was confiscated or sold under distress by the Lieser family after 1938. However, since the potential original owners were both forcibly dispossessed in 1938, documentation of the dispossession for this particular may have been lost.
On April 28th, the painting will be put up for auction at im Kinsky in Vienna, with the price being projected to be between 30 to 50 million euro. The legally unclear situation of whether or not the painting is Nazi-looted art is why the auction was commissioned by both the recent inheritor and the legal successors of Adolf Lieser and his sister-in-law Henriette Amelie "Lilly" Lieser, in accordance with the Washington Principles.
In the past, the depicted young woman was identified as Adolf's daughter Constance Margarethe Lieser, who would have been 18 years old during Klimt's creation of the painting. However, new research presented by the auction house im Kinsky has brought up doubts as to who the depicted "Miss Lieser" actually is. Adolf's sister-in-law Lilly Lieser, who had married and later divorced Adolf's brother Julius, was a patron of the arts and might have commissioned a painting of either of her daughters, Helene and Annie Lieser. Klimt himself never identified the commissioning customer beyond "Lieser" and died in 1918, before the painting was finished.
Lilly Lieser was a central patron of art and music in fin de siécle Vienna. She is especially well-known for her financial support of Arnold Schöneberg and was an avid art collector. For years, her best friend was Alma Mahler-Werfel. Both Adolf and Lilly Lieser were dispossessed in 1938 and later deported to Riga and/or Auschwitz, where they were murdered. Details to Margarethe's life aren't readily available, she died in London in 1943 or 44. Helene Lieser, who had been the first woman in Austria to get a PhD in political sciences, fled Austria in 1938 and ended up in Geneva. After the war, she lived in Paris, working for UNESCO, OEEC and the International Economic Association. She died from cancer in 1962 in Vienna. Annie Lieser, who was a celebrated interpretative dancer, married Austrian artist Hans Sidonius Becker. In 1938, her and their son Johann managed to flee to the US. Hans Becker was active in the Austrian resistance movement and annulled their marriage in 1941 to marry another woman. Annie probably never went back to Austria but kept contact with several other Austrian emigrants in California, among them Alma Mahler-Werfel and Luzie Korngold. She died in Los Angeles in 1972.
The painting will be shown to the public from April 10th at im Kinsky in Vienna as well as during a projected world tour to Asia, Europe and the USA.

Wassermänner und-Frauen
"Halb Albert Schweitzer, halb Mickymaus. Sie hat viele Freunde, zieht sich aber schnell zurück, wenn man sie anbinden will oder sie etwas langweilt. eine einzigartige Mischung aus kühler Überlegung und Exzentrik. Sie ist eine Lebenskünstlerin und lehnt alles Konventionelle aus Überzeugung ab. Ihre Extravaganz zeigt sich auch in ihrer Kleidung. Sie ist durchaus fähig, Spitzenhäubchen von gestern mit Plastikhosen von heute zu verbinden. Wassermann-Frauen haben einen verträumten Ausdruck. Die Gesichtsfarbe ist meist blass, sie haben ein auffallend edles Profil und sind meist größer als der Durchschnitt. Oft haben sie auch breite Schultern..."
Diese Selbstbeweihräucherung habe ich aus einem uralten Zeitungsschnipsel (aus meinem Schatzkistlein); ich darf mich zu dieser oft etwas schwierigen Spezies zählen, wie N. Kinski, Hella von Sinnen, Barbara Sukowa, Caroline von Monaco oder Zsa Zsa Gabor. Zu den männlichen Wassermann-Geborenen zählen u.a. Poet Ambrose, Robert Addie, James Dean, Rutger Hauer (alle zu jung verstorben außer Ambrose) oder Lars Eidinger.
Ich möchte auch auf meine Abhandlung über Exzentriker hinweisen, Paradebeispiele für Wassermann-Frauen. Ich baue gerne Mauern, obwohl ich freiheitsliebend bin, ich schweige oft, doch in meinem Kopf rumort es, ich bin äußerlich kühl und wirke abweisend (oder abwesend), obwohl es in meinem Inneren brodelt.
Ich kann drei Dinge auf einmal machen (zuhören, wegschauen und an was anderes denken); damit habe ich manchen Vortragenden, sei es in der Schule oder später auf der Uni) ganz schön irritiert. In der Annahme, ich sei ganz woanders als im Hörsaal, wurde ich angesprochen, na dann wiederholen Sie mal, was ich eben gesagt habe.. was ich dann auch glasklar tat und ein schiefes und ungläubiges Lächeln erntete.
Ich muss ziemlich abwesend gewirkt haben, aber ich krieg alles mit, und das in doppelter und dreifacher Ausführung. Zu laut, zu hell, zu... einfach alles.…
