Lauder Heir Donates Klimt Masterpiece and Neue Galerie to the Met, Merging Two Museums

Ronald S. Lauder, Estée Lauder heir, will donate the entire Neue Galerie—along with Gustav Klimt’s Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I valued at $135 million and 13 additional Klimt works—to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, effectively merging the two institutions by 2028 and expanding the Met’s holdings of early 20th‑century German and Austrian art.

The exhibition "Klimt Landscapes" at the Neue Galerie in Manhattan offers a small number of Klimt's lush paintings, with just six late landscapes on display, along with five smaller paintings from the 1880s and '90s. The exhibition falls short of expectations set by its title, as it was anticipated to feature a more extensive survey of Klimt's landscapes. The showcased landscapes depict a battle between naturalism and abstraction, with textured greens dominating the canvases.
