Read the Preface.
"The third edition of "Artwalks," substantially revised and
updated with seven new walks, leads readers through various
sections of the city, highlighting what the authors consider to be
public art, whether seen outdoors or within the confines of museums
and other buildings. With directions on how to get there by subway
and car, plus excellent and easy-to-read maps, Artwalks has much to
offer the art lover, including off-the-beaten-path suggestions like
the Chinese Scholar's Garden at Snug Harbor on Staten Island ('not
to be missed') and the Ukrainian Institute of America on East 79th
Street. A helpful section, 'Choosing an Outing, ' lists walks by
subject, such as parks or flower gardens.... [R]ecommended."

compelling."
