In November 2025, Gustav Klimt’s Portrait of Elisabeth Lederer sold for $236.4 million, becoming the most expensive work of early modern art ever auctioned. Six bidders battled for twenty minutes over a portrait painted more than a century ago, proof that even in unstable markets, art carries a value that outlasts cycles and sentiment. This piece takes inspiration from the art collector BATSOUPYUM's profile picture. The original design is by the artist 6529er the image is of a silhouette of a man standing with his fist raised in defiance.
The sale stands as a gesture of defiance toward the bear market. As Klimt’s Lederer enters a new chapter of myth and value, this work stands as a comment that art endures.
