Her first experiences in Australia with the modern art movements in sculpture were very discouraging; the renewal that was brought by sculptors such as Henry Moore,Pablo Picasso and Constantin Brâncuşi was passed to Australia. In 1953, Inge King in Melbourne with the sculptors Julius Kane, Clifford Last and Norma Redpath Group of Four on the movement to promote the modern, abstract sculpture with industrial materials and using geometric shapes. They initially worked with the materials wood and stone, but discovered in 1959 the gas welding. From 1960 until late in the 1980s made Inge King almost exclusively monumental works in steel (especially stainless steel) to the public space. In 1989 they rediscovered bronze and she makes smaller works as Joie de vivre (1989), Dancers (1990/1991) and Daedalus (1994). ==Centre Five group[ Edit] == In 1961, during a meeting, which was organized by Julius Kane, the Centre Five Group of sculptors or Centre 5 founded. The Centre 5 Group was named after the five-point plan, which was drawn up during the meeting. Participants in this offshoot of the Victorian Sculptors ' Society were Clifford Last, Inge King, Vincas Jomantas, Norma Redpath, Teisutis Zikaras, Julius Kane and Lenton Parr. One of the five points was to improve the contact with the public, which could be achieved through group exhibitions. By the fact that they are out of the Sculptors ' Society were performed, their exhibitions seen as competition, which led to a deep division in the Elgin Community. The first group exhibitions took place in 1963, 1964 and 1965. Also in 1974 and 1984 were works of these sculptors during Centre 5exhibitions shown. ==Works (selection)[ Edit] == Rings of Saturn (2005/2006) in Melbourne*Sun Ribbon (1982), Union Lawn, University of Melbourne ==Literature<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == ==Photo Gallery<span class="mw-editsection" len="327" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] ==
