Description
Gottfried Salzmann* (born 1943 in Saalfelden) Vienna, view of the Prater, 2024 watercolour on paper, 59.5 x 48 cm signed Salzmann ESTIMATE °€ 3,000 – € 5,000 STARTING PRICE °€ 3,000 Gottfried Salzmann studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna under Sergius Pauser and Maximilian Melcher, and later at the École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts in Paris. Salzmann lives and works in France and is one of the most frequently exhibited contemporary Austrian artists. A characteristic feature of Salzmann’s work is his elevated perspective. Viewing from the air allows the artist to perceive cities in their vastness and grand scale, enabling a comprehensive and abstract grasp of what he sees. In his paintings, the blurred and abstract nature of distant views is combined with the precisely defined and meticulously executed details of close-up views. Gottfried Salzmann’s cityscapes are characterised by an empathetic yet analytical view of the urban landscape and metropolitan life.
