Romelu Lukaku 'only wants Inter Milan', and another Chelsea star could follow

The Lady with a Fan is one of the few paintings by Klimt, a leader in the Viennese Secession art movement, to be kept private. It was last sold in 1994, when it fetched $11.6m (£9m). Thirty years later, it is expected to cost nearly seven times as much, and will likely be one of the most expensive paintings ever sold. market. If Sotheby's reaches the asking price of £65.5 million ($83.4 million), Klimt's new painting will top René Magritte's Empire of the Light, which sold for £59.4 million ($75.6 million). ) in the year 2022; Alberto Giacometti's Walking Man, which set the record for any painting sold at auction in Europe in 2010 for £65 million ($83); and Claude Monet's Le Bassin aux Nymphéas, which sold for £40.9 million ($52 million) in 2008. Kalidou Koulibaly, Edouard Mendy and Hakim Ziyech will join Saudi Arabia. The Blues tried to dislodge Lukaku in the same way but he only had eyes for Inter.

Alongside Klimt's most famous works, such as The Kiss and Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I, a woman with a fan reveals how far the artist had come in the decade before his death. The glittering fringes of gold leaf raised the things he loved into obscene images. It is stronger and more expressive in its bones, a woman who has a fan based on her strength and the richness of textures, both material and psychological, where she runs into one bright object . Adding to this sense of fluidity, there are moments in the painting where the canvas is still visible - an unpainted area that has led some to think that the work is still unfinished. But it's a portrait of his power from change and division. Its imperfection is what completes it.
