Sculptor and draughtsman, born and lived in London, daughter of the writer and art critic Leo Koenig. After a poor scholastic start, Koenig won a scholarship to Hornsey School of Art, 1939; left it in 1942, serving four years in the Army; studied under Henry Moore at Chelsea School of Art, 1946–8; and at Slade School of Fine Art, 1948–9. Koenig created modest-size bronzes and terracottas, specialising in high relief. She stained the terracottas with dark ink prior to burnishing them, to restore the clay’s richness. Most of Koenig’s work was based on watching factory workers over 30 years. She was concerned with “the dignity of man” and “the trapped nature of human beings”. Mixed exhibitions included RA; Jewish Artists in England, Whitechapel Art Gallery, 1956; SPS; AIA; and 10th Sculpture Biennale, Middelheim, Belgium, 1969.
