WOOLIES has reversed its ban on world-renowned artist Spencer Tunick to stage his mass nude photoshoot on its carpark rooftop in Prahran.
Tunick, whose nudes have graced the Sydney Opera House and world heritage sites, wanted to photograph those willing to strip off for art’s sake during Prahran’s Provocaré festival in July.
No it wasn’t too fresh for the Fresh Food People, although those willing to bare all in Melbourne’s winter might have raised as many goosebumps as eyebrows.

Early last month Broadsheet announced world-famous photographer Spencer Tunick would headline Chapel Street’s winter arts festival Provocaré. The New York State-born artist is known primarily for photographing large-scale nude shoots in public locations, sometimes featuring thousands of participants.
More than 10,000 people have so far registered interest in getting their kits off for Tunick’s shoots across the two weekends of the festival, and three locations have already been secured. The artist had hoped the rooftop car park of the Chapel Street Woolworths could be used as the final location for shooting.
“He fell in love with that location and just had a vision of what he wanted to do with it,” Chapel Street Precinct Association (CSPA) head of business Chrissie Maus tells Broadsheet.

World renowned artist-photographer, Spencer Tunick, arrives in Australia next month to shoot a series of mass nude photographs in Melbourne. His ‘hero’ shot was to be on top of the Woolworths Prahran rooftop carpark – prized for its Melbourne skyline backdrop. Woolworths have said no because of ‘potential loss of trade’ - even though the shot happens before 9am on a Saturday and only 4 cars traditionally use the car park at that time! Chapel Street Precinct Association (CSPA) have started a petition against Woolworths to reverse the decision.

MELBOURNE has been thrust into the midst of a global artistic dispute after a supermarket giant banned controversial photographer Spencer Tunick from staging his next mass-nudity picture on its rooftop in Prahran’s Chapel St precinct.
New York–based Tunick — who is renowned for shooting crowds in the nude at some of the world’s most famous locations — had wanted to use the Woolworths rooftop for his shoot next month, because of the views it offers of the city.
But Woolworths has shuttered the plan for hundreds of locals to strip and be photographed on its roof, saying it has just upgraded the rooftop carpark and did not want to inconvenience its customers…
