In 2019, photographer Andrew Phelps travelled to upstate New York at the invitation of Salzburg Museum while preparing an exhibition marking 100 years of the Salzburg Festival.
In the Westchester Hills Cemetery in Hastings-on-Hudson, he documented the modest mausoleum where Max Reinhardt is buried. A striking discovery was its Tiffany stained-glass window, depicting the familiar view from Schloss Leopoldskron toward the Untersberg –
a powerful visual link across time and distance.
Phelps extended his exploration by photographing the remains of Reinhardt’s former garden theatre at Leopoldskron. By layering historical images with contemporary photographs, he created a quiet meditation on memory, absence, and artistic legacy.
