Gustav Klimt's "Portrait of Miss Lieser", a painting of a young woman left unfinished when the Austrian artist died, sold at auction on Wednesday for 30 million euros ($32 million) despite open questions about its subject and previous ownership.
Auctionator Michael Kovacek, co-managing Director of Kinsky Auction House, oversees the bidding during the auction for Klimt's portrait "Bildnis Fraeulein Lieser," last seen in public in 1925, accompanied by Claudia Moerth-Gasser, Klimt Expert, in Vienna. (Pic + text: Reuters)
