Seven bidders battled for Gustav Klimt’s captivating portrait of Gertrud Loew in the #SothebysLondon saleroom, where it achieved £36.1 million. Watch as auctioneer Oliver Barker drops the hammer on this masterpiece from The Lewis Collection.

Painted in 1902, this extraordinary portrait comes from a crucial period in Klimt’s career and marks his shift towards a more radical approach to paint. 

Tonight, the Lewis Collection became the most-valuable single-owner sale ever in London, with a total of £296.3 million. More masterpieces from the collection will auction on 25 June in The Modern Day Sale. Register to bid at the link at Sotheby's.com
