MUSEUM SECURITY MAILINGLIST REPORTS Adele Bloch-Bauer, Ferdinand's wife, was a patron of Klimt. The most valuable item in the collection is Klimt's "The Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer," 1907, one of the artist's celebrated "gold" paintings. Los Angeles attorney E. Randol Schoenberg, who represents Altmann, said that the Austrians' decision to keep the paintings is based on wishes expressed in writing by Ferdinand and Adele Bloch-Bauer that the artworks should one day be donated to Austrian museums. www.museum-security.org /99/034.html

from September 13, 1998 (Two brothers, Ferdinand and Gustav Bloch, had married two sisters, Adele and Thedy Bauer, and all four changed their names to Bloch-Bauer.) Ferdinand Bloch-Bauer’s last will, executed 22.10.1945, gave one half of his estate to his niece Louise Baronin Gutmann (Maria’s older sister), one fourth to his nephew Robert Bentley (formerly Bloch-Bauer) (Maria’s brother), and one fourth to his niece Maria Altmann. Altmann received a sum of money (approximately $150,000) for her shares of the stock of the sugar concern owned by Ferdinand Bloch-Bauer, and a few artworks were returned to the family, but a great number of items and property were never returned to Ferdinand’s heirs. www.adele.at /Letters_to_the_Ministry_of_Edu/from_September_13__1998/from_september_13__1998.html

ARTNEWS Among the seven paintings now exhibited in the Österreichische Gallery of Vienna are two portraits of Adele Bloch-Bauer, the wife of Ferdinand who died in 1925. Ferdinand Bloch-Bauer had gathered a collection of paintings, porcelains and works of art and had been one of Klimt’s main patrons. Some of Ferdinand Bloch-Bauer’s paintings were later included in the private collections of Adolf Hitler and Marshall Herman Goering. www.artcult.com /news15dd.htm

Arts Gallery Using the records, Viennese journalist Hubertus Czernin concluded that Adele Bloch-Bauer had not willed her portrait to the gallery in 1925, as gallery officials claimed. Ferdinand's wife, Adele, who was childless, hosted a salon where Viennese artists and intellectuals gathered. Altmann was born in Vienna in February 1916, the fifth and last child of a prosperous commercial lawyer. www.artukraine.com /historical/nazi_art.htm

The Art Newspaper -- News The claim was brought by Maria V. Altmann, 85 and a US citizen, the niece and an heir of Ferdinand Bloch-Bauer, who died almost penniless in 1945, his vast collection of porcelain and paintings stolen by Nazis and dispersed to Hitler, Goering and others. As in the lawsuit over an Egon Schiele painting in New York, the plaintiff in the Bloch-Bauer case is arguing that Austrian authorities knew or should have known that the disputed artworks were Nazi loot yet took actions to keep the objects in national collections. Two of the Klimts are portraits of Ferdinand's wife Adele, who died in 1925 and asked in her will that Ferdinand consider donating four of the disputed paintings to the ANG on his death. www.theartnewspaper.com /news/article.asp?idart=7151

The New Yorker: PRINTABLES The case involves a thicket of legal issues, centering on the interpretation of Adele Bloch-Bauer’s will, which was written two years before her death, of meningitis, in 1925. In the will, Adele asked her husband, Ferdinand, “to leave my two portraits and the four landscapes by Gustav Klimt” to the National Gallery. There was nothing else.” In Ferdinand’s last will, written in 1945, a month before he died, while he was in exile in Switzerland, he names Altmann and two of her siblings the heirs to his entire estate. www.newyorker.com /printables/talk/041025ta_talk_goodyear

Story of Maria Altmann Ferdinand Bloch-Bauer, a prominent Jewish Viennese businessman, head of the Austrian sugar industry and a lifelong collector of art, commissioned the well known painter and founder of the Austrian Secession Movement, Gustav Klimt, to do several portraits of his wife Adele. Although the paintings belonged to Ferdinand, and not his wife, Ferdinand allegedly stated that he intended to fulfill his wife’s wishes although he was not legally required to do so. Ferdinand had no children and left his entire estate to Maria and her older brother Robert and sister Luise. financialservices.house.gov /banking/21000blo.htm

[CPProt.net] worldwide press on Austria v. Altmann Austria contends rightful ownership of the paintings, because Altmann's aunt, Adele Bloch-Bauer, asked that the art be donated to the government gallery before her death in 1925. Altmann, 88, hopes to recover up to six paintings by the renowned Austrian artist Gustav Klimt that had belonged to her deceased uncle Ferdinand Bloch-Bauer and are now in the Austrian Gallery. Altmann counters that Adele was simply airing a desire that had no binding effect and that her uncle "never would have donated anything to Austria after the way he had been treated." Ferdinand specified in his will that his large estate be shared by two nieces and a nephew. te.verweg.com /pipermail/cpprot/2004-June/000419.html   (11304 words)

Bloomberg.com: Top Worldwide Her uncle, Ferdinand Bloch-Bauer, died in 1945, and the question in the suit is whether he left the paintings to Altmann and other relatives, or his wife Adele left them to Austria when she died in 1925. The six seized paintings include a portrait of Adele Bloch- Bauer, one of Klimt's most famous works which is on the cover of the Austrian Gallery's guidebook.

Stolen by Austria8 Klimt’s Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I, which all the museum publications represented as having been donated to the museum in 1936, was revealed to have been transferred to the museum only in 1941 with a letter from the Nazi lawyer Führer signed ”Heil Hitler.” The revelations were devastating. In many cases, such as with the Klimt paintings from the Bloch-Bauer collection, the provenance had been falsified to hide the fact that the paintings had been stolen during the war. Gehrer responded by closing the Ferderal Monument Agency archives and ordering a thorough investigation by a committee of archivists from the various federal museums and headed by the director of the Federal Monument Agency, Ernst Bacher. www.adele.at /Stolen_by_Austria/Stolen_by_Austria8/stolen_by_austria8.html   (563 words)

A case of art and law Altmann contends that she obtained documents from the Austrian Gallery's archives that show that, even in 1948, museum officials knew that Adele Bloch-Bauer's testamentary wish was not legally binding. Among Bloch-Bauer's extensive art collection were six paintings by Gustav Klimt, famous as a co-founder of the Vienna Secessionists. Altmann notes that in 1948, Austria demanded that the heirs relinquish their claims to the six Klimt paintings in exchange for the return of the rest of the family's art collection. www.law.com /jsp/nlj/PubArticleNLJ.jsp?id=1075219841543   (1687 words)

Untitled Document The portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer reflects some of the many contradictions that can be found both in Klimt's life, and in its context: the portrait depicted her not as she was, but how her husband, who commissioned the painting, desired her to be seen by others. Gustav Klimt's artistic progression is evident both in his work, which progressed in technique not in leaps but slowly in a series of steps (elements of previous technique are not usually lost, but exist in diminished or reduced intensity), and in the history of his time. Klimt wished to be seen as a painter of architectural decorations, a reputation underlined by the nature of commissions early in his career, which included works to be placed in theatres, museums and churches. www.laks.com /english/biography.html   (2539 words)
