peril

I always had a soft spot for Vault, which everybody called the Yellow Peril instead. The Age has a piece on it, talking to Ron Robertson-Swann, who made it. He says :

Vault was a public issue, and I think Melbourne is a lot more sophisticated as a result of those arguments being aired, over a long period of time.

I noticed it'd disappeared from down near the helipad across the river from the casino a few months ago, but it looks like it's coming back :

Vault, aka the Yellow Peril, will be installed outside the new Australian Centre for Contemporary Art in Sturt Street, Southbank, later this month.
