| Description : |
View of part of the Hajek sculpture plaza with the Festival Centre in the background. The Hajek sculpture plaza is the most prominent feature of the forecourt of the Adelaide Festival Centre. Designed by Czech-born artist Otto Hajek, the artwork is actually named 'City Sign' but has been more commonly known by the eponymous title. Consisting of concrete blocks painted in the state colours and placed in a grid-like pattern, the work has also been described as the 'tank trap'. |
