Now On View | Artist Rolf Sachs Presents His Largest Institutional Exhibition To Date

On View: Through October 5, 2025

Artist Rolf Sachs unveils Rolf Sachs: be-rühren at Kunsthalle Schweinfurt, his most comprehensive institutional exhibition to date, offering a survey of his multidisciplinary oeuvre from the 1990s to the present. On view through October 5, 2025, the exhibition features over 150 works, ranging from modular furniture, photography, and sculpture to his latest paintings, which have now become an integral part of his practice. The title be-rühren, a wordplay on the German verb ‘to touch’, captures Sachs's focus: a deeply empathetic and sensory exploration of the human condition.

Rolf Sachs: be-rühren is conceived as a journey through the artist’s career-long experimentation. Taking over the entire ground floor of the museum and unfolding in a non-chronological order, the exhibition invites visitors to engage with Sachs's bold, multifaceted practice. Each room showcases individual bodies of work and site-specific installations, revealing his distinctively playful and inquisitive nature across a variety of mediums. The exhibition also proposes a transversal perspective on the ideas that have shaped his practice from his beginnings to today — a poetic sensibility, an empathetic approach, a fascination with materiality and a continuous reimagining of domestic objects.
