Listen "Coburn Tapestries: The Sun and the Moon"
Episode Synopsis
In 1969, architect Peter Hall commissioned John Coburn, an Australian modern abstract artist, to design the Sydney Opera House opera and drama theatre curtains that were celebrated at the opening of the Opera House in 1973. This episode explores the design and creation of John Coburn's tapestries through the stories of his daughter, Kristin Coburn, and how the tapestries realise Jørn Utzon's design vision for celebrating performance with colour through Australian architect's Peter Hall's interior design.
