Karl Ulrich Nuss in Wasseralfingen: Bronze, Form and Moving Figure
The museum gallery in the Bürgerhaus Wasseralfingen is dedicating an exhibition to the sculptor Karl Ulrich Nuss, making his work perceivable as a powerful examination of figure, movement, and material. The presentation introduces an artist who has shaped figurative sculpture for decades, whose bronzes are as present in public spaces as they are in collections and exhibitions. The exhibition runs from June 26, 2026 to September 13, 2026, admission is free, based on donations.

Bronze as the Language of Form
Hardly any sculptor created as many bronzes as Karl Ulrich Nuss. His sculptures appear in postures, movements, pairings and groupings that not only depict the human body but also make it readable as a carrier of tension, calm and inner dynamics. It is precisely this combination of form consciousness and narrative condensation that gives his work a special aesthetic experience.

An Artist with Art Historical Depth
Karl Ulrich Nuss, born in Stuttgart in 1943, first studied in Schwäbisch Gmünd, then at the Academy of Fine Arts in Nuremberg under Hans Wimmer and later in Berlin under Bernhard Heiliger; since 1970 he has been working independently in Strümpfelbach. His official biography names him an honorary professor of the state of Baden-Württemberg and an honorary citizen of the city of Weinstadt. His position thus stands in an art historical line that bridges academic sculpture, modern forms of expression, and public sculpture.

From Public Space to Concentrated Exhibition
Nuss's work is visible in many places in southwestern Germany, from large sculptures to fountains to sacred works. In the exhibition in Wasseralfingen, this breadth condenses into a concentrated curation: form comes to the foreground, the narrative element is reduced in favor of the plastic presence. This is precisely what appeals to art lovers who wish to experience sculpture not as decoration, but as a form of thinking.
