One of a total of 12 sculptures from Elvira Bach's first sculpture project, “Die andere Eva” (The Other Eve). All 12 works were produced based on a prototype created by the artist, individually hand-painted, and are therefore considered unique pieces. [AR].
- Elvira Bach's colorful, large-format figure paintings celebrate a self-confident, emancipated type of woman. - The artist's works are now represented in important collections, such as the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Deutsche Bank Collection, and the Städtische Galerie in Wolfsburg. - Since 2001, the year “Grüne Mamba” was created, it has been in private ownership in South Germany.
