LONDON.- Three influential sketches by Gustav Klimt, that played an important role in the development of the artist’s oeuvre will lead Bonhams Impressionist & Modern Art sale at Knightsbridge, London on 30th October. They are offered for sale in Gustav Klimt year, the celebration of the famous Austrian artist’s 150th birthday. Klimt’s intimate sketches of women show the artist’s clear mastery of the female form. They all form part of The Goldberg Collection, a striking set of iconic artworks not seen in public since 1982, which includes other impressive works by artists such as Max Ernst, Salvador Dali and Fernand Lger. ‘Liegender Frauenakt mit schlafendem Kind im Steckkissen’ (Reclining female nude with sleeping child in swaddling clothes), a delicately drawn sketch executed in the crayon that Klimt favoured at this time, is the top lot in the sale with an estimate of 30,000 |
