MELBOURNE ART DECO
In 2009 Robin Grow published a book on Melbourne Art Deco, with images largely supplied by David Thompson. The book quickly sold out and he is pleased to say that it has now been re-published by Brolga Press, with updates, errors corrected and a new cover.
Best of all, it is selling for about $25 in the shops and on-line. Art Deco & Modernism Society members can purchase a copy from me for $22, (includes postage within Australia). For overseas orders please email for postage rates. Contact me at robingrow@ozemail.com.au if you are interested, and advise if you would like the book to be dedicated and/or signed.
Oh, I love how it comes alive at night!! I also like how well maintained it is and how simple the original design was.
ReplyDeleteYes, Yes and Yes!
DeleteThe vertical fin and neon lighting were two of the elements that made Palmer House (and other Miami hotelss) so distinctly Deco. Love it!
ReplyDeleteStudents will be looking for examples of Deco architecture this semester, so I have given everyone your blog address. Thanks.

Thanks Helen. I love the visitor spike when your students are let loose. :-)
DeleteYes the sign is marvellous, I've been stunned by neon ever since being shown the Skipping Girl as a toddler.
ReplyDeleteThere is something about neon, isn't there.
