"A local celebrity during his lifetime, Viennese artist Gustav Klimt
has become an international sensation in ours. His gilded 1907-08
painting "The Kiss" has turned into one of Vienna's leading tourist
attractions, and his portraits, some of which sell for tens of millions
of euros, are among the most highly valued paintings in the history of
art.
This year, Vienna celebrates the 150th
anniversary of Klimt's birth with 10 special exhibitions, many
highlighting relatively unknown aspects of the artist's life and work."

Maurine Klimt comes from the worlds of Ballet and Fashion and is second generation in art, with training at the University of Utah. Maurine joined Wilhelm as an artists representative and now is his partner in the Klimt Collection. Please visit us at www.klimts.com
