Profile

Ronald Lauder made headlines last year when he snagged Gustav Klimt's gilded portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer for $135 million. In November (for a mere $38 million), he picked up another masterpiece: this 1913–14 painting of garishly attired pedestrians by Kirchner, which inspired a political battle in Germany when it was returned to the heirs of Nazi victims shortly before a state election. Berlin's loss is our gain: The work has a spectacularly aggressive energy that rivals the busiest afternoon in Times Square. — Karen Rosenberg
