About this work

Artist: Gustav Klimt (1862–1918)
Year: 1907
Medium: Oil, silver and gold leaf on canvas
Original size: 140 × 140 cm
Collection: Neue Galerie, New York
Movement: Vienna Secession

Adele Bloch-Bauer, the wife of a Viennese sugar industrialist, sits enveloped in a gown that dissolves into a field of gold ornament: eyes, spirals and rectangles drawn from Egyptian and Byzantine sources. Only her face, shoulders and clasped hands are painted naturalistically. Klimt worked on the commission for about three years and finished it in 1907, using gold and silver leaf over oil, the same technique as The Kiss. It is the only portrait he painted twice of the same sitter. Seized by the Nazis in 1938, the painting was returned to the Bloch-Bauer heirs in 2006 after a landmark restitution case and bought by Ronald Lauder for the Neue Galerie in New York, where it is now on permanent view.

This exhibition-poster edition shows the whole work beneath original typography set in-house. The original is in the public domain.

Where it works

A field of gold ornament with one naturalistic face, best given a dark wall and the room's main sightline, dining room or bedroom at 24×36. Brass lamps and dark wood furniture pick up the leaf; a thin black frame keeps it from competing.

Size. We'd hang this one at 24×36. Prints at 12×18, 16×24, 24×36 in — 12×18 for a shelf, desk or a gallery-wall grid; 16×24 above a desk, console or in a hallway; 24×36 as the statement piece above a sofa or bed.

Framing. Exhibition posters sit best in a slim black frame with no mat — the typeset margin is the mat.

Pairing. Pairs as a set of three with other famous painting prints (10% off three or more).

Is this the whole painting, or a crop?

The whole work, uncropped. The exhibition-poster edition sets the complete image above typography designed in-house.

Is Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I in the public domain?

Yes. Gustav Klimt (1862–1918) died more than 70 years ago and the work was published before 1929, so the painting itself is public domain. This print is a reproduction made from a high-resolution scan of the original, which is held by Neue Galerie.

What is it printed on?

Heavyweight matte fine-art paper with pigment inks, made to order in 12×18, 16×24 and 24×36 inches; every size is also offered framed in black or natural wood, with plexiglass and no mat. Colours are matched to the scan, not brightened.

When was Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I painted, and in what medium?

Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I dates from 1907 and was made in oil, silver and gold leaf on canvas; the original measures 140 × 140 cm.

What size works above a sofa or bed?

Across a three-seat sofa or a queen bed, 24×36 is the size that reads as one statement piece; 16×24 suits a narrower wall or a pair. For Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I we'd choose 24×36.
