Vault is a controversial and influential public sculpture in Melbourne completed in 1980 by Ron Robertson-Swann. After a contentious installation in Melbourne's City Square lasted for only a few months, Vault found a home beside the Yarra in Batman Park. In 2005 Vault was moved to a location that has finally offered this modernist, minimalist piece of public art a context in which to shine. Now situated in the riverbed-like park surrounding ACCA, Vault's yellow angles beautifully complement the vast rusted-carapace of Melbourne's premier gallery of contemporary art.
Harper and Charlie make original retro prints celebrating the culture, architecture and design of Melbourne and Australia.
Inspired by art from the 1950s and 60s, Harper and Charlie use vintage print techniques to achieve their authentic feel. If you look closely you might be able to spot the careful details - slipped registration, slight colour-bleed, or light scuffs in the design - that give these beautiful prints their warmth and character.
