Hugo Nathan was quoted in The New York Times about a masterpiece by Gustav Klimt, which sold for $37m.

“In terms of inherent beauty, alluring color and timeless imagery, only van Gogh can outdo Klimt,” said Hugo Nathan, a co-founder of the London-based art advisers Beaumont Nathan, which regularly buys high-value modern and contemporary works at auction. “Whilst both are of equal scarcity,” he added, “restitution has brought masterpiece Klimts back to market, realizing unprecedented prices that firmly cement him in the trophy category.”
