The Salzburg Kunstverein was founded in 1844 by Prince-Archbishop Friedrich Schwarzenberg, representatives of the civic society interested in art and artists, and was one of the first such institutions in Austria. The interest of the population was so great that already on 9 May 1844 the citizens of Salzburg proudly reported in a letter to the district office in Linz that 600 participants had registered. In 1885 a house was built in a style typical for the late 19th century containing an exhibition hall, the Künstlerhaus, nowadays the only building standing on its own dating from the 1880s to be seen in Salzburg.
The task of the Salzburg Kunstverein was to promote and sell contemporary fine art from the territories of the monarchy and neighbouring foreign countries. Like all art associations the Salzburg Kunstverein was therefore a predecessor of the private galleries. Initially the pictures were distributed similar to prizes in a raffle in order to spare the middle class the need to decide which works of art to select.
The 150 year history of the Kunstverein is characterised by high and low points. Since the 1990s the association has introduced and consistently followed an international programme in keeping with the intentions of the founders.

At the beginning of 2001 the Künstlerhaus in Salzburg was adapted and renovated by the group architects known as HALLE 1, based in Salzburg, who also planned the extension to the neighbouring county court.
Besides extensively renovating and opening-up the Künstlerhaus, the building project aimed to establish an appropriate standard for a house where contemporary art is created and exhibited.
The design followed two basic ideas:
- to free the late 19th century building from extensions that were added later and to emphasise the clarity of the historical form.
- to realise the architectural innovations necessary nowadays in order to present them in a contemporary context.
The technological equipment in the Main Exhibition Hall was adapted to present-day standards. A new exhibition cabinet was created. The flight of steps at the entrance was returned to its original state as a pyramid staircase. The area surrounding the Künstlerhaus is once again a public space, freely accessible from all sides.
A café terrace made of glass on the side of the building overlooking the river Salzach has been docked on to the existing CaféCult that was planned in an initial building phase by the Viennese architect Elsa Prochazka. Outside the building a 13-metre vertical flag, visible from far and wide, advertises the exhibitions in the Salzburg Kunstverein.
The building project was funded as part of the investment programme for cultural sites by the city and province of Salzburg. Total costs amount to € 900,000 — a quarter of which were covered by the Kunstverein from its own reserves and with the help of private sponsors.+ [ Read all ]
