Public Art: Theory, Practice and Populism
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
