Statement of Significance
What is significant?
The monumental size modernist public sculpture was built as the major commission associated with the re-development at the MCG. It is the most important public sculpture that the major young Victorian sculptor, Anthony Pryor, produced and was finished and installed just before his untimely death.
The sculpture captures the essence of our moods and emotions. It celebrates the colour, atmosphere and drama brought by the crowd, and captures the spirit and excitement of the event. Of his work, Pryor said that the forms occur suspended in a climax of exhuberance and energy. Balance and counterbalance create feelings of suspense and excitement... Its free-flowing forms suggest "banners, flags, and ribbons that capture the spirit of the event and the imminent excitement." (Herald Sun Weekend April 1 1995)
