Vault - Southbank (VIC)

5 /5 Konrad Taylor: A piece of Melbourne history. Relocated from city square due to public disliking modern art. Also known as The Yellow Peril

4 /5 Swell Traveller: In 1980 this colourful sculpture was revealed in the City Square of Melbourne. Its official name is the Vault but it is also known as the Yellow Peril. The artist that created it was Ron Robertson-Swann. Made of metal, painted yellow and representing dynamic movement, this abstract sculpture, created quite a divided opinion from Melburnians. It has been graffitied, a shelter for the homeless, photographed by many for its sweet lines and an inspiration for artists. It was then moved to Batman Park and again recently near the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art. Perhaps this piece of art was ahead of its time, and there would be no issue placing it back in the city again, especially near Federation Square, in the National Gallery or along the Yara River. It is, after all, a piece of art. It is a structure people pass daily and worth having a look. You can decide - love it or not?

5 /5 Ben Creighton: I finally got a chance to look at this thing in person today, and it is WAY bigger than it looks from in a car. It could double as a bus shelter! Vault has an interesting story, as you would be able to tell from the other reviews here. I think it was ahead of its time, and it fits in well with the modem architecture.

5 /5 Gurmukh Nijjar: Beautiful piece of art
