Bert Flugelman was born in Vienna, Austria, in 1923 and moved to ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ in 1938. Arguably his best known artwork in South ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ is The Spheres in Rundle Mall (affectionately known as the "Mall's Balls"). Many of Flugelman's sculptures are made up of stainless steel geometric forms such as cones, spheres and pyramids that have been blown up to a monumental size. Flugelman's fine sense of style and occasion within a balanced sense of space is evident in Continuum, which has been part of the ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥'s visual art collection since 1974, when Flinders ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ presented the sculpture as a gift to mark the Centenary of the ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ of Adelaide.
