A long-lost painting by Gustav Klimt, 'Portrait of Fräulein Lieser,' painted in 1917 and resurfaced after nearly a century, was sold at an auction in Vienna for 30 million euros ($32 million) to a Hong Kong Gallery. The painting, commissioned by a Jewish family who fled Austria in 1930, fetched a record price for an Austrian auction despite its controversial Nazi-era provenance. The auction house im Kinsky facilitated the sale, which was part of an agreement to return art confiscated during the Nazi era. The painting was previously thought to be lost and was only known from a photograph.
