For the first time at the Netherlands Art Fair, for the first time in the nearly a century, the lost image of Prince William Nii Nortei Dovoona, created by Gustav Klimt in 1897, was represented.
At the Art Fair, Tefaf first introduced to Maastricht a picture of Prince William Nii Norte Dovuona, written by Gustav Klimt in 1897.
The picture, which disappeared nearly a hundred years ago, saw the light again and is now estimated at € 15 million, CNN wrote.
Two collectors gave a picture to WienerororoTher & Kohlbacher Vienna Gallery. The canvas is infected, and Klimt’s signature is almost irresistible. Famous art historian Alfred Vidinger, who has been looking for this work for two decades, has confirmed its authenticity.
The picture describes the prince of William Nii North, Dovuna, the representative of the GA people of modern Ghana. This is done in the style of early modernity and decorated with floral motifs. The picture symbolizes Klimt’s move in a decorative style, Vidinger notes.
The work was created in 1897 during the so-called Völkerschu (Human Zoo)-a show that showed representatives of different people in Europe of the XIX-XX century. In 1923, the picture was sold at an auction, and was later transferred to the exhibition at Klimt’s Workshop, which was changed to the villa. Those with the picture, the pair of Jews of Ernestina and Felix Kleina, escaped from Austria in 1938 on the eve of World War II. Where the canvas were in the next decades, it remained mystery.
Gustav Klimt is one of Austrian’s most popular artists, Art Nouveau representative and founder of the Vienna Session. Her picture of a kiss is one of the most recognizable works of art in the world.
Earlier it was reported that in the Netherlands they discovered a photo of the youngest coal, lost from the GDansk museum in 1974, stolen 50 years ago.
