Galerie Szaal, one of Austria's long-standing private art galleries, is dedicated to showcasing exceptional predominantly Austrian painting and sculpture. The carefully curated collection of artworks represents a wide spectrum of contemporary artistic perspectives, spanning from lesser-known talents to internationally renowned artists.
