1. The Lady In Gold
The Extraordinary Tale of Gustav Klimt's Masterpiece, My Family and the Woman Who Stole It
A sweeping narrative that follows Maria Altmann’s determined quest to reclaim a Gustav Klimt portrait of her aunt that was seized by the Nazis, tracing the painting’s creation in Vienna’s fin-de-siècle society, its wartime theft and decades-long retention by Austrian institutions, and the landmark legal battle in American courts that ultimately secured its restitution and sale; the book intertwines biography, art history, and courtroom drama to examine memory, identity, and the lingering legacy of Nazi plunder.
