His last words reportedly were, "Get Emilie" (Emilie Louise Flöge). She inherited half of Klimt's estate, the other half going to the painter's family. In the final days of the Second World War, her house in the Ungargasse caught fire, destroying not only her collection of garments, but also valuable objects from Klimt's estate.

2006 Klimt's portrait from his gilded phase sold for $135 million | "ADELE BLOCH-BAUER" BY GUSTAV KLINT | image tagged in vince vance,gustav klimt,adele bloch-bauer,vienna jugendstil,art memes,venese arte nouveau | made w/ Imgflip meme maker
As for the value of “The Kiss,” it would no doubt be the most expensive piece of art in history were it ever put up for sale. In 2006, another Klimt painting from his Gilded Phase sold for a then-record $135 million. “The Kiss,” though, isn't going anywhere. In Austria it's a treasure — one without a price.
