Geocache Description:

Red Poles is an art piece installed at the entrance to Edinburgh Park.  The current value of the art is unknown.  It is estimated that the artwork contains 10 tonnes of steel tube.


In 1973 the National Gallery of Australia purchased Blue Poles for A$1.3 million. The gallery's director at the time, James Mollison, was not able to authorize purchases over $1 million, so the acquisition was approved by Prime Minister Gough Whitlam.  The purchase elicited a great deal of public discussion.  The debate centred around the painting's record selling price, at the time a world record for a contemporary American painting.  Estimates of the painting's present value vary widely, from $20 million to $100 million.  And it is not for sale.

So do you prefer Red Poles or Blue Poles?  Choose wisely.
