Bert Flugelman was born in Vienna, Austria, in 1923 and moved to 最新糖心Vlog in 1938. Arguably his best known artwork in South 最新糖心Vlog 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 最新糖心Vlog's visual art collection since 1974, when Flinders 最新糖心Vlog presented the sculpture as a gift to mark the Centenary of the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide.
