On Saturday 08-APR-06 we did the Civic Public Art Walking Tour and lived to tell the tale.
And so, I present to you item # 34, Woman In Thought, by Milan Vojsk. Its next to the Reserve Bank building on London Circuit.
The guide says:
The Reserve Bank approached Milan Vojsk
in 1963 requesting sketches for a sculpture
to enrich the area adjacent to their new
branch. Vojsk visited the site to get a fi rst
hand impression of the architectural style
and surroundings of the city and produced
a number of drawings and studies.
The 2.9 metre bronze casting of Woman
in Thought was executed in Milan and
installed in 1973 as a gift to the people
of Canberra.
This was one of the highlights of the tour for me.
