Bronze as a living form: Karl Ulrich Nuss in Wasseralfingen
The exhibition Karl Ulrich Nuss - THE PLASTIC ARTIST will bring the formal power of a significant German sculptor to Aalen from June 26, 2026, at the museum gallery in the Bürgerhaus Wasseralfingen. It showcases an artistic experience that places figurative sculpture, bronze, and public space in a concentrated dialogue. The presentation is free of charge and accessible on a donation basis.

An artist who rethinks the figure
Karl Ulrich Nuss, born in 1943 in Stuttgart, studied in Schwäbisch Gmünd, Nuremberg, and Berlin, worked as a freelance artist in Strümpfelbach since 1970, and was appointed honorary professor of the state of Baden-Württemberg in 2004. His art represents large-scale, mostly figurative sculptures, with bronze as the primary material. His works continue to shape squares, fountains, and ecclesiastical spaces in southwestern Germany and beyond. ([de.wikipedia.org](https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_Ulrich_Nuss))
Bronze, movement, and condensation
The Aalen exhibition highlights the signature style for which Nuss is known: figures in posture, pairing, and grouping, plastic tension, and a sure sense of spatial impact. The text on the event page vividly describes how his work has evolved from a narrative gesture to a freer, experimental language of forms. This is precisely what creates the aesthetic experience that makes viewing artwork in a museum so appealing: bronzes become concentrated gestures of light, surface, and volume.
