## Caption

When Gustav Klimt’s 'Bauerngarten (Blumengarten)' appeared in our March 2017 Evening Sale, it dazzled the room at #SothebysLondon.

After intense bidding, the vibrant garden scene reached $59.3 million (£48 million) — setting a new record for a Klimt landscape and ranking among the highest prices ever achieved for a work of art in Europe.

Watch as newmanhelena brings the gavel down on this landmark moment. #SothebysArchives
