Join us on Sunday, January 11 at 12:30pm for Lunch and Janet Mandel’s ArtTalk on Nazi-Looted Art: Gustav Klimt— Painter of Vienna’s Golden Age.
ABOUT THE ART TALK:
Gustav Klimt’s rise in fin-de-siècle Vienna was closely intertwined with Jewish patrons whose progressive taste and financial support helped define the modern character of his work. Families such as the Bloch-Bauers and Lederers assembled extraordinary collections that later were looted, dispersed, or destroyed during the Nazi period. This presentation tells the story of what happened to these families and their collections and how the debate over provenance, restitution, and cultural memory continues today.
