Vivid's Anthony Bastic buys in Darlinghurst
Vivid Sydney's director of light, Anthony Bastic has moved to the inner city from the east.
He's spent $1.95 million on an apartment in the coveted Republic II building in Darlinghurst having sold his Randwick home.
The completely rebuilt two bedroom, two bathroom apartment on the north east corner comprises 132 sqm space and 20 sqm of parking.
BresicWhitney Darlinghurst agent Nic Krasnostein said the Republic II was designed to channel 'Palm Springs circa 1964'.
Bastic has been Randwick based since 2015 when he paid $1.51 for the William Street home. It fetched $1.8 million at its recent auction.
There was a buyers guide of $1.7 million for the two bedroom home, also sold through Nic Krasnostein with help from Nick Gill.
The home on 196 sqm has an eat-in garden kitchen and a timber entertaining deck that overlooks the lawn.
Anthony is the principal and creative director of AGB Events, who have worked on Vivid Light Sydney which is set to again light up Sydney later this month.
Before establishing the company, Anthony worked for the Sydney Opera House, the Sydney 2000 Olympic Live Sites and the 2003 Rugby World Cup.
Basic has also illuminated the Boston Public Library in Copley Square with 3D digital animation over the Christmas holiday season.
Last year AGB Events launched Parrtjima: A Festival in Light, a new light festival in the Northern Territory to illuminate the Aboriginal culture, billed as the world's first Indigenous festival of light as well as Australia's largest light installation.
