From 1988 until 2005, Deborah Halpern’s ceramic sculpture was sited in the southern moat of the National Gallery of Victoria on St Kilda Road. With its joyful spirit and arresting form, the 10-metre-high sculpture attracted the attention of passers-by and soon became one of the city’s best known and loved public artworks. In its new location, it can be admired "in the round" from multiple vantage points

ReplyDeletea beautiful, vibrant sculpture...love the painting.
I think I used to like the sculpture best when it was in the water outside the gallery - I think it had a better sense of scale there. But what do I know!
