| Margel Hinder (1906-1995) was
one of Australia's most innovative and creative sculptors. She was
born in New York city and brought up in Buffalo, New York. Margel
studied at the school of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts in Boston,
USA and began working in wood but progressed to metal as a medium
in 1953. Margel worked mainly on major commissions in the Australian public sector and produced a number of maquettes for some of these works. Major public commissions include the Captain James Cook Memorial Fountain, Newcastle; Northpoint Tower (now situated at Macquarie University, Sydney); Sculptural Form, Woden Town Square, Canberra; Free-Standing Sculpture, Reserve Bank of Australia, Sydney; Deakin University, Geelong and the State Office Block, Sydney. These sculptures now form part of Australia's cultural heritage. She also sculpted a number of small, individual pieces. Margel was awarded the Australia Medal, General Division, Order of Australia in 1979 and is well represented in many State and Regional galleries.
