ART&ANTIQUE - Salzburg's Summer Arts Event!

A noble lady gives us the pleasure of gazing at her profile, a lotus diadem encircling her neck. She can be found on a limestone relief which takes us back to Memphis around 1290 BC. Ancient Egypt is in the air this summer in Salzburg – after all, the Festival also presents a journey to the Nile in the form of Verdi’s Aida.

For the third time, the summer arts event ART&ANTIQUE accompanies the Festival summer at the Residenzhof, the courtyard of the Prince-Archbishops’ Residence.

From August 12 to 20, a handful of selected Austrian and German art dealers meet and exhibit at the air-conditioned tent in the Residenzhof. It is an outstanding addition to the arts offerings of the Festival town, presenting wonderful treasures free of admission. Antique pieces are juxtaposed with contemporary artworks; peasant furniture meet the sophisticated designs of vintage jewellery and sumptuous clocks. Drawings, for example by Otto Mueller, are as intriguing as Berg’s opera Wozzeck, and playful wood inlays on baroque furniture match the finely-wrought coloraturas of Handel’s Ariodante. A special exhibition of contemporary sculptures strikes addition notes of interest, set in the arcades of the baroque courtyard.

Once again, the 2017 ART&ANTIQUE at the Residenzhof Salzburg offers an artful echo to a resounding Festival summer!
