Anne-Marie O'Connor
THE LADY IN GOLD: The Extraordinary Tale of Gustav Klimt's Masterpiece, Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer

Knopf, New York: Feb. 2012. 1st ed. UNCORRECTED PROOF Trade soft cover. NF/Plain white paper wrappers.  Thumb dents along fore-edge. -344pp, b&w photos, notes, biblio, (index omitted) Binding new. Pages unmarked.Bright NEAR FINE unread condition.

The spellbinding story --part fairy tale, part suspense --of Gustav Klimt's most famous painting, one of the most emblematic portraits of its time: the beautiful, seductive Viennese Jewish salon hostess who sat for it; the notorious, "degenerate'' artist who painted it; the now vanished turn-of-the-century Vienna that shaped it; and the strange twisted fate that befell it.

"Anne-Marie O'Connor's remarkable biography of Gustav Klimt's landmark painting casts a sharp light on the throes of creativity whose product becomes subject to...the ambush of Nazi racism. The book ignites many a startling flashpoint in the moral history of our time--a taut, rich, tangy and instructive read." --Frederic Morton
