"Flora“ was part of the sculpture ensemble „Generally“, consisting of the three sculptures „Flora“ (2006), „Centripetale“ (2001) and an untitled seating sculpture (2007). This group was put together by Franz West in 2007 for the Munich headquarters of the Generali Germany AG and was installed there in the outdoor space until spring 2025.
