Ursula Sax’s artistic activities began officially in 1950 when she was admitted as a 15-year-old girl to the Academy of Fine Arts in Stuttgart to study sculpture and it continues until today.

Her complex work unfolded in many phases of work that, while studying in Stuttgart, later in Berlin at Uhlmann (1955-1960) and subsequently, embodied impressively the spirit of the so-called post-war modernity. This spirit she ‘inhaled’ convincingly as a young artist and, in reaction, created autonomous sculptures – and from then on helped to form this spirit. The artist, who from the late 80's worked as a Professor of Sculpture in Berlin, Braunschweig and Dresden, has been involved since the 60's, among other things, with sculpture in public spaces and in response to each new challenge formulated an individual sculptural language which flowed into her accompanying studio and vice versa.

View into the exhibition

The exhibition traces the multifaceted and diverse creative development of Ursula Sax and is good for a few surprises with works that are either unknown or have been rescued from oblivion (...).
