Gottfried Salzmann was born on March 26, 1943, in Saalfelden, Austria.
He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna from 1963 to 1965, and then continued his education at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris from 1965 to 1968.
He exhibited for the first time in 1969 in Salzburg.
Originally recognized primarily as a watercolorist, Salzmann expanded his artistic practice to include drawing, engraving, and photography. He is known for occasionally painting over his photographs, especially when away from his watercolor materials.
In 1989, he illustrated Jean-Paul Sartre’s Situations of New York with a series of lithographs, published by the Bibliophiles de France.

Gottfried Salzmann
"Here,the facades of steel and glass skyscrapers alienate the onlooker, deforming and elongating the scene in their reflections into a multitude of mirrors .There, the urban skyscape is revealed in concrete form,only to dissolve suddenly as one examines closely the myriad of abstract dots of which it consists . The city becomes simultaneously itself and its own spirit.It asserts its reality, and at the same time is unreal: it vanishes before one‘s eyes. No sooner does one seem entirely to comprehend,that fragments escape is no longer recognizable; as one thinks to have grasped it again,it slip away like a vision in a dream is itself and something else."
