FREMANTLE ART REMOVAL A MAJOR CHALLENGE
This photo of the former St Andrew’s Mariners Chapel in Fremantle’s historic High Street, taken late yesterday afternoon, clearly shows the challenges the contractors face in removing the yellow foil of the Felice Varini Arcs D’Ellipse artwork from the buildings.
The building to the west if it escaped major damage as they could pull off the foil, but this one looks pretty awful, so it appears that it will need a lot more work before it can be re-painted.
It is quite clear that all the buildings will need individual treatment, as the City of Fremantle has indicated, so I don’t envy those who have to find solutions for the problems they encounter. Good luck!

This is one building in the West End that looked worse for the coat of dull brown paint applied over the original brickwork years ago – a long time before the yellow art. Perhaps removing the paint altogether might be a better overall and aesthetic solution
