Karl Ulrich Nuss – The Sculptor: Sculpture as a Living Form in Wasseralfingen

The museum gallery in the Bürgerhaus Wasseralfingen will be dedicated in summer 2026 to the sculptor Karl Ulrich Nuss, one of the prominent representatives of figurative sculpture in Southern Germany. The exhibition on July 12, 2026, opens a concentrated view of a body of work that connects the human body, the portrait, and bronze sculpture with great formal precision and quiet expression.

Figure, Volume, and Expression

Karl Ulrich Nuss works in a visual language that creates closeness: Heads, figures, and body fragments do not appear as distant studies, but as condensed character representations. His sculptures combine classical sculpture with a contemporary sensitivity to surface, posture, and proportion. Particularly in the consideration of the work, the quiet strength of this art unfolds, which mediates between naturalism and condensation.

An Artist with Art Historical Depth

The sculptor, born in Stuttgart in 1943, is the son of the sculptor Fritz Nuss. After studying with Bernhard Heiliger at the College of Fine Arts in Berlin, Karl Ulrich Nuss developed an independent, figurative signature. His works are present in numerous public spaces, and he is also known for collection work and art historical awareness. The connection of his own sculpture and the collection of Southwest German painting shows a life that not only produces art but also preserves and contextualizes it.

Exhibition Atmosphere in the Museum Gallery

The museum gallery in the Bürgerhaus Wasseralfingen offers an intimate setting for this encounter with sculpture. In the concentrated spatial effect, form, material, and light stand out particularly clearly. Bronze, plaster, and modeled surfaces gain a presence here that directs the visitors' gaze and invites slow contemplation.

Place of Cultural Education

The exhibition fits ideally into the framework of cultural education: It conveys sculpture not abstractly, but through vivid encounters with works. Those interested in art history, plastic art, and regional culture will find a concise access to a body of work that continues the tradition of figurative sculpture in the present.

Conclusion

This exhibition promises a concentrated art experience between form, character, and material. Anyone wanting to experience Karl Ulrich Nuss live should not miss the date in Wasseralfingen: Here, sculpture is tangible as an immediate aesthetic experience.
