From cedar totem poles to high-tech video installations, downtown
Seattle sparkles with hundreds of artworks adorning plazas,
lobbies, parks, and waterfront piers and paths. This impressive
collection, comprising works by artists with regional or
international reputations (and often both), has expanded rapidly as
Seattle's urban core has grown. The explosive development of South
Lake Union in recent years has brought major works by Jaume Plensa,
Julie Speidel, Annie Han and Daniel Mihalyo, Buster Simpson, Jenny
Heishman, and more. The Seattle Art Museum's ten-year-old Olympic
Sculpture Park provides a breathtaking setting for Richard Serra's
monumental Wake and Beverly Pepper's ever-changing Perre's
Ventaglio III, and links the downtown waterfront to Myrtle Edwards
Park, which features Michael Heizer's once-maligned and now beloved
Adjacent, Against, Upon. To tell the lively stories of those who
commissioned and created these artworks, James Rupp interviewed and
corresponded with more than ninety artists, also drawing from
newspaper reviews, books, catalogs, and artist statements.
Photographs by Miguel Edwards, all new to this book, showcase the
pieces' street-level presentation and help the reader understand
the larger impact of each work in its neighborhood context. This
comprehensive guide offers detailed information about the
individual works of art, organized by downtown neighborhood, and
featuring: More than 350 artworks Over 300 color photographs 9
detailed area maps for self-guided tours Unique descriptions of
each artwork Biographies of all the artists Perfect for art and
architecture lovers, as well as visitors and newcomers to the city,
Art in Seattle's Public Spaces showcases the wealth of urban art to
be freely enjoyed by all. A Michael J. Repass Book
