The Meditative Beauty of Klimt's 'Bauerngarten'

Painted in 1907 at the very peak of Gustav Klimt’s golden period, Bauerngarten is regarded as one of the artist’s finest landscapes. Sotheby’s Worldwide Co-Head of Impressionist & Modern Art, Helena Newman, describes the extraordinary impact of the work and how its innovative square shape focuses the eye on the shimmering surface of colour. A work of outstanding importance and beauty, this rare and exquisite painting leads Sotheby’s Impressionist & Modern Art Evening Sale in London on 1 March.
