Titled, 'Botanica 2001', lithograph numbered 110/250, signed lower right. Elke Sommer was born in Berlin, Germany on November 5, 1940. Sommer began painting watercolors as a teenager. While vacationing in Italy, she won a beauty title ("Miss Viareggio Turistica") which caught the attention of film director, Vittorio De Sica who cast her in his films. She became a sex symbol in Europe and by the early 1960s she was working in films in Hollywood. When not working in movies and television she painted as a hobby.
In 1965 she held her first one-woman show at the McKenzie Galleries in Beverly Hills. Her paintings appear to be inspired by the works of Marc Chagall.
