For the state horticultural show “Green 99” in Weil am Rhein, Sauk created the large sculpture “Phoenix” in 1999, now in the water gardens of the three-country garden .

The first exhibition of the Dreiländermuseum in Lörrach was a retrospective of the artist in 2004 under the title "Max Sauk - Art is Freedom".
