Maria Altmann

1916–2011 (age 95)

Biography

Maria Altmann was born in 1916 in Vienna and fled the Nazi regime with her family, eventually building a new life in Los Angeles where she raised her own family with a fierce sense of justice.

She waged a decades-long legal battle to recover her family's Klimt paintings, and her tenacity amplified the broader cause of restitution while her story inspired many to fight for what is right.
