Since then, the snake has been a recurrent motif in her work, including a version more than five feet long in her outdoor sculpture Figurengruppe / Group of Figures (2006–08), in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York. In Fritsch’s work the snake is a culturally and psychologically evocative symbol of shared fears and superstitions often expressed in religious stories, folk tales, and legends.
