(Artdaily.org)

A drawing by Austrian artist Gustav Klimt, which disappeared from a museum collection, has been found in the effects of a recently deceased secretary, authorities said on Tuesday. The drawing `Zwei Liegende` (`Two Reclining Figures`) is one of four works by Klimt and fellow pioneer of Viennese Modernism Egon Schiele that have been at the centre of a drawn-out legal battle between the city of Linz and the heirs of artist and collector Olga Jaeger. Jaeger had given the works to a museum in Linz on long-term loan in 1951. But when her descendants asked for them back in 2006, they were nowhere to be found. They took the city to court and after a long legal battle were awarded damages of 8.21 million euros ($10.1m). Now city authorities say that the Klimt drawing has been tracked down.
