I went there on this first day in London, still jet-lagged.
It was immediately after New Year and there was all this trash in the fountains and the city hadn't been cleaned up.
And at that point...
The gallery hadn't worked out how to show her that.
It was a gallery which only had a small number of late 19th and early 20th century pictures and she was hanging almost opposite Van Gogh's chair, one of the icons of modern art.
And it was a weird thing, but it was still incredibly powerful and exciting.
It's been a way of trying to understand the family and what is the iconic object of my family.
And so I really, you know, I love the family, part of the family collection being in the NGV.
When people decide to give, refugees give material back to Vienna, it kind of masks the fact that their families were forced to flee to New York or London.
Even if Vienna is most interested in those objects,
When they go back on show in Vienna, even if there's a caption, it kind of, it just loses the fact of their exodus and exile and what happened to them.
I think she'd be shocked.
I think that the Hermine who was painted in 1903 would be truly shocked.
She and Moritz, particularly when they build a house in Vienna in 1913, they expect that Vienna will be the home
of their family across the generations, that they are part of that society, that they would be there forever.
By the time she dies in 1936, she's living in a very different world.
Why the painting has gone on this global journey, she would be shocked by.
She probably also would be shocked by what has happened to Klimt's
She would be surprised by that.
