The €30 million bid for Gustav Klimt’s Portrait of Fräulein Lieser at Im Kinsky in 2024 did not result in a completed sale after a further ownership claim emerged. In 2026, a claimant brought a US lawsuit seeking recognition as an heir and the return of the painting. Its ownership remained disputed.
