Klimt Painting Auctioned

"Frauenbildnis (Portrait of Ria Munk III), one of the last great female portraits painted by Gustav Klimt, sold for £18,801,250, against an estimate of £14 million to £18 million, at Christie’s Impressionist / Modern Evening Sale in London on 23 May 2010. The third and final painting in a series of three portraits commissioned by the Munk family of their daughter Ria and the most modern of Klimt’s full-length female portraits, the painting offers a glimpse into the working methods of one of the most celebrated artists of the 20th century." - via Christies
