AVL CEO Prof. Helmut List
and his wife Kathryn List were
awarded the jury prize “Maecenatentum”
4 3
2 0 1 9
by the independent
economic committee “Initiativen
Wirtschaft für Kunst” at a festive
gala in Vienna, which was attended
by numerous guests from the
worlds of business, culture, politics
and media. This prize honors personalities
from Austria who have
rendered outstanding services to
art and culture at home and abroad
with their actions. Prof. Helmut
List: “For AVL, the proximity to
art means that we can also improve
and further develop our creativity.”
Guided by the principle that technological
progress and artistic creation
are connected, AVL’s research
and development results are brought
into an artistic and aesthetic context
in numerous projects. An example
of how AVL has successfully
bridged the gap between science and
art is the Helmut List Halle, where
the company has incorporated its
entire acoustics expertise.
Born out of Prof. List’s vision to
bring art into AVL’s corporate culture,
the founding of the AVL Cultural
Foundation is truly an outstanding
culmination of his cultural
commitment. Creative projects and
long-standing collaborations with
festivals, young up-and-coming
artists as well as well-known music
personalities annually emphasize the
features of Austrian art life with a
strong international orientation and
involvement.
