Complimenting Dunklung Nachtung Amung Ding, the bronze sculpture Dresdner Frauen – Elke (1989/2023) is presented in Derneburg where Baselitz originally sculpted the Dresdner Frauen series. The exploration of Dresden's post war narrative by the artist, who grew up 60km outside of the city, led to the creation of the wooden sculpture group in 1989. The widespread destruction of the historic city by British and US air raids in February 1945 targeted one of the last intact military bases, an important transportation hub, as well as industrial sites, and resulted in the destruction of the city’s center, its iconic buildings, as well as its population. The Dresdner Frauen are Baselitz’s homage to the so-called “Trümmerfrauen” (rubble women), who are credited in post war narrative with a significant part in the clearing and reconstruction of destroyed German cities. Like the city's past, which is characterized by violent interventions in the cityscape, Baselitz’s portrait named for his wife Elke who was born and raised in Dresden, (yet being a child in the 1940s) is characterized by inverted facial features made with rough markings and demonstrates the raw approach to his sculpture making.
