VIENNA Christmas came early for the Leopold Museum in Vienna recently when anonymous donors unexpectedly financed the purchase of a famous 19th-century oil painting at auction.
“The Altar of Dionysos”, by renowned Austrian artist Gustav Klimt was auctioned off Tuesday night by continental Europe’s largest auction house, the Vienna-based Dorotheum. It sold for $560,000 well above the estimated range.
