A bit late and they are probably all booked out but there are Art Deco tours happening at The Centre Ivanhoe this weekend by Robin Grow, President of the Art Deco and Modernism Society. Bookings are essential on 9490 4300. I think Robin runs these tours regularly for the City of Banyule.
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.
A friend works in Ivanhoe. He has never mentioned what a great building the 'town hall' is.
ReplyDeleteIts a bit 'brutal' on the outside but has some delicate features like the grills on the windows and doors. Much softer inside.
