Salzburg Foundation

The Salzburg Foundation is a private initiative devoted to art in the public space. Since 2002, a number of distinguished artists have executed outdoor projects. Anselm Kiefer (2002), Mario Merz (2003), Marina Abramovic (2004), Markus Lüpertz (2005), James Turrell (2006), Stephan Balkenhol (2007), Anthony Cragg (2008), Christian Boltanski (2009) and Jaume Plensa (2010) have developed works of art in and for the city to this point. All of these projects were financed by the Salzburg Foundation without resort to public funding.

In homage to the country hosting the Salzburg Art Project, three internationally-acclaimed Austrian artists have been invited to take part in the10th and final project: Brigitte Kowanz, Manfred Wakolbinger and Erwin Wurm.
