"Amicus Certus" is a sculpture created by Tom Bass in 1960 which is located on the side of the AMP building on Alfred Street. The full motto of the Australian Mutual Provident Society is "amicus certus in re incerta" which means "a sure friend in an uncertain event". This perspective gives a view of the entrance and also a sense of the curve of the building's facade.
That's a beautiful sculpture.

I dont think I have realised the extent of the curve prior to this photo, Jim. Nice perspective.
ReplyDeleteLovely shot of the curve Jim. I have never noticed the sculpture before.
ReplyDeleteA very elegant sculpture Jim - and the curved line is lovely!

It is an interesting sculpture nicely located on the wall of this fine building. The perspective is surely enhanced by the curved facade...
