Würth Sculptures Garden

Amid the picturesque grounds of Schloss Arenberg in Salzburg, the Würth Sculpture Garden invites visitors to enjoy a personal encounter with contemporary art. The somewhat hidden-away location of this exhibition allows for an intensive dialogue with the pieces in an open setting.


Artworks you can touch

Many of the artworks blend harmoniously with the castle grounds. Others, for their part, are more grotesque, stimulating you to ponder. The materials are every bit as colorful of a collection as the artists themselves. The intentions and possibilities are likewise diverse. The “Modified Social Benches” of Jeppe Hein represent a humorous contribution lying somewhere between furniture and art. On Markus Redl’s “Stone 47”, you are tempted to become part of the object. And Magdalena Jetelová’s “Chair” appears at first sight to be an absurd piece of wood, though is actually a criticism of the media in totalitarian systems.

The Würth Collection

The Würth Sculpture Park at Schloss Arenberg and the Walk of Modern Art in the Salzburg historic district (since 2013) are expressions of the closeness between Salzburg City and Würth. In fact, the first of this company’s collectors’ pieces were exhibited in the City of Mozart back in 1991. A market leader in assembly and fastening materials, Würth also places major emphasis on art and culture.
