Unearthed Klimt painting, first dismissed, now on sale for $16 million
An oil painting of an African prince created by the Austrian master Gustav Klimt, unearthed in recent years and almost dismissed for not looking like one of his more famous works, is now on sale for $16.32 million (15 million euro).
The 1897 oil painting named after its subject, Prince William Nii Nortey Dowuona, was first displayed at the European Fine Art Fair in Maastricht, the Netherlands, this past Thursday and already has several interested parties, including a museum and private buyers, said Lui Wienerroither, co-owner of Wienerroither & Kohlbacher, the gallery selling the piece.
