until 08.11. | #4793ARTatBerlin | Galerie Friese shows from 12. September 2025 (Opening: 11.09.) the exhibition So rot, so rot by the artist Elvira Bach.
Elvira Bach became world famous at the latest with her participation in documenta 7 in 1982. With unmistakable expressiveness, striking colours and subtle humour, she placed the diverse identities of women at the centre of her art in her self-portraits and portraits of women.
The artist has lived and worked in Berlin since 1972. She studied at the Berlin University of the Arts under Hann Trier, worked part-time as a prop master at the Schaubühne theatre and consistently pursued her work as a maverick.
The Friese Gallery is showing Elvira Bach’s work for the first time, focusing on her early works from the 1970s and 1980s, supplemented by a group of new ceramics created especially for this exhibition in the summer of 2025. They testify to Elvira Bach’s inexhaustible creativity, her ability to lend her own signature to the things around her and to find an expression for the joy of existence.
Opening: Thursday, 11. September 2025, 6:00–10:00 pm
Exhibition dates: Friday, 12. September to Saturday, 8. November 2025
