Inge King
Sun ribbon, 1980–82
Inge King (1915-2016), one of Australia’s most significant sculptors, made a profound contribution to modern sculpture, particularly through her exploration of abstraction. Born in Berlin, King studied in Europe before emigrating to Australia in 1951. Drawing on her knowledge of European modernism and her training in traditional carving, she was instrumental in introducing avant-garde sculpture to Australia.
