Neue Galerie New York

This guide to the Neue Galerie New York centers on Gustav Klimt's gilded portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer, and on what happened to it after Austria was annexed in 1938 and the painting was seized and stripped of her name. It follows her niece, Maria Altmann, who fought for decades to reclaim it, and the legal battle that eventually reached the United States Supreme Court. Take a moment with the portrait itself before moving on to the rest of the gallery.
