Inge King has been at the forefront of developing a non figurative vocabulary in Australian sculpture. She is a member of the Centre Five Group devoted to raising the professional standards of Australian sculpture in the 1950s and 1960s. Below is one of her most impressive and monumental works, admirably suited to its site between the State Theatre and Concert Hall in Melbourne. Many of King's Abstracts are to be found on plazas of commercial office buildings and on University Campuses.
