Karl Ulrich Nuss - THE SCULPTOR: Public tour in Aalen-Wasseralfingen

An afternoon with Karl Ulrich Nuss: Sculpture, Space, and Living Form

The public tour of the exhibition Karl Ulrich Nuss - THE SCULPTOR brings sculpture to life on July 12, 2026. In the museum gallery at the Bürgerhaus Wasseralfingen, visitors encounter a work that condenses bronze, posture, and spatiality into a concentrated artistic experience.

An artist who makes form the main role

Karl Ulrich Nuss stands for a figurative sculpture that takes the human figure in motion, tension, and presence seriously. The city of Aalen describes his journey as an evolution from early independent works through large sculptures, fountains, and sacred works to free large sculptures and a later, more inward-focused phase of creation. This development particularly shapes the atmosphere of the exhibition: the work does not appear museum-like and frozen, but rather open, tentative, and driven by formal curiosity.

Bronze, Body, Rhythm

Upon entering the exhibition, one experiences not a loud staging but a precisely curated examination of the works. Nuss models figures, pairings, and groups in an inexhaustible variety; the narrative aspect recedes in favor of form. The sculptures make movement visible without explaining it. Thus, aesthetic experience is created in the best sense: as a dialogue between material, light, and one's own gaze.

Wasseralfingen as a fitting place

The museum gallery at the Bürgerhaus Wasseralfingen regularly features special exhibitions on local history and artistic creation from the region. The place itself combines industrial history, cultural memory, and contemporary art; the historical ambiance of the Bürgerhaus enhances the impact of the exhibition. The gallery is open during current exhibitions from Friday to Sunday from 2 PM to 6 PM, and entry is free. The building is easily accessible, with a museum entrance via elevator available.

Why a visit is worthwhile

It opens up an understanding of a sculpture that has shaped public space for decades and continues to impress in the tension between figure, body, and space. Those who wish to not only see art but experience it in its materiality and posture will find here an impressive reason to visit Aalen-Wasseralfingen.
