Gustav Klimt and the women who shaped his world

Meet Gustav Klimt, whose portrait of Elisabeth Lederer just fetched 236,5 million $ at Sotheby's in New York. The second most expensive painting ever sold. Klimt, living in Vienna at the turn of the 20th century, was an artist, torn between muse and mistress, beauty and rebellion, the sacred and the profane.
