Watercolors by the artist fetch up to €6,000 at international auctions The color red as a symbol of ferocity and destruction, but also of love and eroticism, is a recurring motif in the work of Elvira Bach (born 1951). Usually it appears in her female figures, as it is visible in the present watercolor in the woman's red hair, red mouth and the outlines of her body. "Allein im Liebesraum" [Alone in the Love Space] shows a naked woman with high heel shoes, clinging to the ball of a snowman, his head and the middle ball of his body hovering over her. The long carrot nose is an erotic innuendo. Elvira Bach's powerful compositions often address the woman in her gender specific existence and sensuality, usually with a reference to her own biography.
