About THE CROSS Art + Books
THE CROSS ART + BOOKS
We stock books about art, design, fashion and history, with a lot of books about Asian, Australian and Pacific arts, crafts, design and cultural history. We have books on women artists, academic analyses and dissident life as well as monographs on Old Masters and avant-garde artists.
Our shop is in Sydney's legendary Kings Cross, which provided alternatives to Australia's normalities and suburbia for 80 years. Colloquially known as The Cross, this name signifies Antipodean bohemia, street gangs and a famous red light district.
We buy quality books on the visual arts, architecture & design. We do not sell any children's books, cooking books, novels or self-help books. Five minutes walk from Kings Cross station, we are open between 10 – 6, every day of the week.
