Klimt Paintings

November 20, 2007 /

Adele Bloch-Bauer IGustav Klimt is one of my most favorite artists and I think that his works were incredibly beautiful despite the fact that they were highly controversial. I was just browsing the Internet searching for more information about him and was very surprised to learn that the portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I that he drew back in 1907 was sold for some $135 million, the highest sum ever paid for a painting! How I wish to put my hands on the real painting that’s worth a fortune! Ah well, maybe in my dream I could do that. I definitely do not have the wealth to own such great piece or pieces by Klimt but I would love to buy his prints. So I wandered further to search for sites that sell just that. The results was even better, I found a site, OverstockArt.com, which offers hand painted art reproductions of Klimt Paintings! I am pretty amazed that the paintings look just like the original done by Klimt and have been carefully recreated detail-by-detail, color-by-color to near perfection. They have a collection of oil paintings that include the Kiss, Fulfillment, Expectations, Adelle Bloch-Bauer I, Baby (Cradle), Mother and Child, Farm Garden with Sunflowers and Malcesine on Lake Garda.

Uh-oh, I won’t be dreaming anymore!
