Michel Sauer's Sculptural Precision at Galerie artpress

exhibition · 2026-04-23

Michel Sauer's contemporary sculptures combine formal rigor with an almost jeweler-like precision. His work eschews monolithic monumentality in favor of sobriety, precise assembly, and treatment by small surfaces. The result is an art that straddles the realms of the goldsmith and the sculptor. The exhibition "Michel Sauer : histoire d'oeil" was held at Galerie artpress, as reported in the October 1989 issue of artpress magazine.
