Karl Ulrich Nuss in Wasseralfingen: Sculpture as a Living Form

The museum gallery in the Bürgerhaus Wasseralfingen invites you to an exhibition in summer 2026 that sharpens the view of figurative sculpture. Under the title Karl Ulrich Nuss - THE SCULPTOR, an art experience unfolds that focuses on bronze, plaster, and the power of form. The exhibition is free and makes clear why Nuss is considered one of the defining sculptors of Southwest Germany.

Bronze, Movement, and Human Presence

Karl Ulrich Nuss has been working for decades on the representation of the human form. His sculptures appear in pairings, groups, and postures that oscillate between stillness and dynamism. The exhibition shows how much his artistic language has developed from the observation of the body, the tension of surface and volume, and from precise analysis of the works.

An Artist Between Public Space and Free Sculpture

The sculptor was born in Stuttgart in 1943, studied in Schwäbisch Gmünd, Nuremberg, and Berlin, and has worked freelance in Strümpfelbach since 1970. His work is widely visible in public spaces, while the exhibition also shows the freedom of late form-finding. The sculpture here is not only read as a monument but also as an aesthetic experience.

Spatial Effect in the Bürgerhaus

The museum gallery in the Bürgerhaus Wasseralfingen offers a suitable setting for this presentation of art with its historic atmosphere. The building is accessible with minimal barriers, the museum entrance is reachable via an elevator, and the exhibition rooms can be experienced without steps. This creates an open space for cultural education and concentrated viewing.

A Look at the Life's Work

The official artist's page emphasizes the enormous variety of Nuss's work: Free works, commissioned pieces, small sculptures, and plaster works form a body of work that has grown over decades. His joy in shaping, the connection of craftsmanship and experiment, as well as the focus on the human being characterize this exhibition with particular clarity.

Conclusion

Those interested in sculpture, art history, and the quiet power of a plastic language of forms will find a noteworthy exhibition with high educational value in Wasseralfingen. Karl Ulrich Nuss - THE SCULPTOR invites you to see bronze and form anew and experience the originals live.
