Progress Lyndon Dadswell 1959 Rundle Mall Copper
Progress was designed by Lyndon Dadswell, who was regarded as one of Australia's most accomplished sculptors.[2] The work represents the "spirit of progress", and is situated on what was for many years the David Jones building in Rundle Mall, having been installed in 1963 – four years after the work was completed. Dadswell studied for a time under Rayner Hoff, noted in Adelaide as the sculptor for the South Australian National War Memorial.[3]
