A fascinating visit to the Duldig Studio
01 Jul 2025
On a scintillating autumn day, Glen Waverley Combined Probus Club attended the Duldig Studio in Glen Iris.
After a welcome greeting from four friendly volunteer staff members, the group watched a short video that recounted how the owners had escaped from Vienna in 1940 to arrive in Australia.
They then split into three groups to tour the house, sculpture workshop and garden. The guides shared interesting anecdotes and stories about the various artworks, sculptures, books and furniture. For example, holes had been left in some pieces of work, and these were called negative space, and the viewer was invited to use imagination to fill them.
Back in the house, they enjoyed a delicious Viennese plum cake and filtered coffee or tea. The group had been fascinated with the tour, and everyone voted it to be very different from their usual outings.
