About

Elvira Bach, born in 1951 in Bad Neuenhain, Germany, studied under Hann Trier at the Berlin University of the Arts between 1972 and 1978. Associated with the “Junge Wilde” movement, and after receiving an invitation to Documenta 7 in 1982, she quickly gained national and international recognition, becoming one of Germany’s most well-known painters of her generation and a pioneer in Germany in expressing female sexuality and desire within her works. Bach’s work focuses on the empowerment of women through her iconic Neo-Expressionist female paintings and self-portraits.
