Auctioned off two years ago at Sotheby's in London, this painting "Church in Cassone" (1913) by Gustav Klimt was saved from the Nazis, but it was also lost for a good while. (It sold for about 26 million pounds.) Read the story here. (Guardian)
I have been looking at Klimt's amazing landscapes recently in a gorgeous book about them.
I like them better than his figurative works. To view more, click on buildings or landscapes in this link.
