Figure, movement, and bronze
According to the exhibition announcement, few sculptors have created as many bronzes as Karl Ulrich Nuss. His figures appear in postures, movements, pairings, and groupings; therein unfolds the tension between body, space, and gesture. The sculptures are present in public spaces as well as in exhibitions in Germany and abroad.

A work between public and inner freedom
The exhibition traces how Nuss moved into independent sculpture after his third decade of life. Over the decades, large sculptures, fountains, and sacred works have shaped squares, city gardens, and churches in southwestern Germany; later, free large sculptures in the Strümpfelbacher Tal became the focus of his work. The artist does not follow what is expected, but rather maintains an open, experimental approach to form and expression.

An art that makes form tangible
Karl Ulrich Nuss was born in 1943 in Stuttgart, studied in Schwäbisch Gmünd, Nuremberg, and Berlin, and has been working independently in Strümpfelbach since 1970. In 2004, he was appointed honorary professor of the state of Baden-Württemberg, and in 2013, he became an honorary citizen of the city of Weinstadt. His sculpture combines artisanal precision with a clear love for figurative form. ([karl-ulrich-nuss.de](https://www.karl-ulrich-nuss.de/vita.html?utm_source=openai))
