Cassini is a unique artwork, and a fantastic example of abstract geometric modernism.
Charles O. Perry was a significant American sculptor and designer whose bold, yet fluid, modernist designs grace many major public buildings in the U.S., including Washington D.C.’s National Air and Space Museum.
There are only eight major works by Perry in Australia. Most of these, like Cassini, were commissioned by architect, Harry Seidler, as forecourt elements to his iconic buildings.
