'Great planet' by Inge King
Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: A leading Australian exponent of abstract sculpture, Inge King's Great planet 1976-77 exemplifies a great simplicity of form, which belies its physical weight. When King began welding in 1959 - one of only a handful of women artists in the field - she used steel (the industrial material of her age) in an expressionist manner, leaving exposed the rugged texture of the welding. Over the years, this texture eventually disappeared and her forms became simpler and more monumental. Beyond its formally satisfying design, Great planet has an air of mystery, an aura of power and a commanding presence. The sculpture was lent to Expo '88 from the Queensland Art Gallery's collection. Note: Great planet was part of the QAGOMA Geometries exhibition, on display within the Queensland Art Gallery building until 2 February 2020. |
