I say good for him! Mr. Lauder, the collector, musuem owner billionaire is back in the news. You know him as the guy that paid 135 million bucks for Gustave Klimt’s 1907 portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I in June.
He's got his eye on 4 more Klimts that will be put on the auction block by Christies which they estimate the four paintings will sell in excess of $93m and some experts have valued them at $150m. The works are: Adele Bloch-Bauer II (1912, est $40m-$60m)), Birch Forest (1903, est $20m-$30m), Apple Tree I (around 1912, est $15m-$25m), and Houses at Unterach on the Attersee (around 1916, est $18m-$25m).
A lot of dough but I say more power to him.
