Art collector, 89, is Salzburg’s main sponsor

Art  collector, 89, is Salzburg’s main sponsor

The Würth Group has signed on to be the Salzburg Festival’s main sponsor from 2025.

The group is a $22 billion business that makes industrial and domestic attachments and owns a chair of appliance supermarkets.

Its chairman Reinhold Würth is a considerable art collector who has loaned major works to the city of Salzburg and elsewhere.

He said: ‘I have a great soft spot for the arts, for literature, architecture and music. To me, the latter is indeed the highest of all art forms and a special delight. If I can return home after a concert with a melody in my ear, that’s a particularly good day.’
