Alain Elkann Interviews

Inside the Mind of a True Original: Why Rolf Sachs Refuses to Copy - 243 - Alain Elkann Interviews

06 Jul 2025

Description

ALWAYS ON A ROLL. Rolf Sachs is an artist born in Lausanne, Switzerland in 1955 who works across a diverse range of media, from photography, painting, sculpture and installation, to interiors and set design.  In 2018 he moved to Rome where he opened a new studio in 2020.   From July 17, 2025 to October 25, 2025 the Kunsthalle Schweinfurt in Germany presents Rolf Sachs: be-rühren, his most comprehensive institutional exhibition to date.  The title be-rühren is a wordplay on the German verb 'to touch', and captures Sachs's focus of a deeply empathetic and sensory exploration of the human condition. "What has always moved me most deeply is the human soul." "I paint mostly with my fingers" "My studio has become my think tank, a place where I can truly develop creative ideas."
