GALLERY WELZ

Welcome to Gallery Welz Salzburg

The com­pa­ny, found­ed in Salzburg in 1899, has been based in Sig­mund-Haffn­er-Gasse 16, in the Palais Kuen­burg (Lan­gen­hof) since 1910. Friedrich Max­i­m­il­ian Welz took over his father’s gild­ing and frame busi­ness in 1934 and grad­u­al­ly expand­ed the shop to include the gallery and the art trade. 

The tra­di­tion of the Galerie Welz results in the work with today’s clas­sic mod­ern art and Aus­tri­an con­tem­po­rary art. Par­al­lel to this is a third cen­tral focus, Aus­tri­an sculp­ture after 1945 with works by Fritz Wotru­ba and sculp­tors of the gen­er­a­tions after Wotru­ba.
Paint­ings, water­col­ors, draw­ings and sculp­tures are pre­sent­ed on two floors in around 16 exhi­bi­tions each year. 

The art shop offers inter­na­tion­al prints, Japan­ese wood­block prints and rea­son­ably priced works that are suit­able as an intro­duc­tion to col­lect­ing.
The frame shop pro­vides pro­fes­sion­al fram­ing and restora­tion of frames and pic­tures.
In addi­tion to pub­li­ca­tions from the gallery’s pub­lish­ing house, the art book­shop offers new pub­li­ca­tions from the art book market.
