An extra ‘Adele’ day, if you’ll pay

Admission will more than triple to $50 on an extra weekday for viewing Gustav Klimt’s art nouveau portrait of “Golden Adele,” the world’s most expensive painting.

The 1907 oil of a Viennese society woman was purchased for a reported $135 million by cosmetics magnate Ronald S. Lauder from the U.S. and Canadian heirs of an Austrian Jewish family whose art collection was looted by the Nazis.

The Neue Galerie museum in New York announced it will stay open from noon to 4 p.m. Wednesdays during the exhibit, which runs through Sept. 18.

Regular admission is $15 for adults and $10 for seniors and students at normal openings Thursdays through Mondays. Neue Galerie is closed Tuesdays. During the Klimt exhibit, Wednesdays are reserved for museum members and visitors willing to pay the $50 admission.
