1977 - MODERN GALLERY AND GRAPHICAL COLLECTION RUPERTINUM

Friedrich M. Welz did not only shop for the gallery and orga­nized exhi­bi­tions through­out his life, but also built up a per­son­al collection.
The art deal­er and pub­lish­er Friedrich M. Welz laid the foun­da­tions in 1977 with the dona­tion of his col­lec­tion, which includ­ed Oskar Kokoschka’s entire graph­ic work and the visu­al tes­ti­mo­ny of impor­tant artists (late 19th cen­tu­ry to the 1970s) for the “Mod­ern Gallery and Graph­ic Col­lec­tion Ruper­t­inum” in Salzburg.
