This book takes a bold look at public art and its populist appeal,
offering a more inclusive guide to America's creative tastes and
shared culture. It examines the history of American public art -
from FDR's New Deal to Christo's "The Gates" - and challenges
preconceived notions of public art, expanding its definition to
include a broader scope of works and concepts.
Expands the definition of public art to include sites such as
Boston's Big Dig, Las Vegas' Treasure Island, and Disney World
Offers a refreshing alternative to the traditional rhetoric and
criticism surrounding public art
Includes insightful analysis of the museum and its role in relation
to public art
