Several Gustav Klimt paintings, including the famous ‘Adele Bloch-Bauer I’, ‘Apfelbaum’ (Apple Tree) and ‘Hauser in Unterach am Attersee’ (‘Houses in Unterach on Attersee Lake’), have been removed from Vienna’s Belvedere Gallery. They are currently homeward bound to Maria Altmann, the Californian woman who spent six years campaigning for the works, which her family owned before WWII. Over the weekend the paintings that are worth some £173 million were viewed by around 10,000 visitors.
