Margel Hinder

Margel Ina Hinder (1906–1995) was an Australian-American modernist sculptor, noted for her kinetic and public sculptural works. She attended the Albright Art School, Buffalo, New York and the School of the Museum, Boston.[1]

She was awarded third prize in the International Sculptural Competition, 1953, The Unknown Political Prisoner. Hinder's work outside the Reserve Bank of Australia was commissioned after she won an international competition for sculptors in 1961.[2] Hinder's acknowledged master work is the water sculpture in Newcastle, New South Wales's Civic Park.[3]

Hinder's husband was Frank Hinder, with whom she has had two retrospective exhibits (1973 and 1992).[4] Frank and Margel Hinder are the subject of a biography by Renee Free.[5]
