’s “Portrait of a Lady” was found by a gardener who was clearing away some ivy on the exterior of the Ricci Oddi Modern Art Gallery in Piacenza, Italy, when he came across a small panel door and decided to take a peek inside. The gardener, who is conveniently not named in AP report about the discovery, found a plastic bag in that little ivy covered door, and inside that plastic bag found the missing painting.
The first of which being, you’re telling me no one in 23 years has cleared away ivy on the side of this building a noticed that secret door? I mean, I’m not about to cast judgement on the Ricci Oddi Modern Art Gallery’s grounds keeper, but babe, even I’m tending my garden with more regularity. Of course, the real win here is that the paining’s been found, but now that the verification is confirmed and out of the way, investigators have begun looking for clues as to who took the work in the first place.
Klimt, who produced over a dozen works in his lifetime with the word ‘lady’ in the title, has, like many artists, experienced roaring success posthumously. In 2006 his piece, “Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer” sold for $135 million, and maybe just to prove she has a hand in everything going on everywhere at all times, Oprah apparently had possession of and then sold “Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer II” for $150 million not too long ago.
That painting is wack.
