"A Guide to Chicago's Public Sculpture is the most comprehensive handbook of Chicago's public sculpture available and is an excellent companion to the heralded guide, Chicago's Famous Buildings. The product of prodigious research, including interviews with living artists, A Guide to Chicago's Public Sculpture provides individual entries on each of the works in the metropolitan area selected for the guide. These entries give location, title, sculpture, a brief description of the work, completion date, installation date, a biography of the sculpture, and, where appropriate, information on the subject. Photographs - most of which were specially commissioned for the book - illustrate each entry. The entries in A Guide to Chicago's Public Sculpture are arranged within twelve geographic groupings. This method of organization, together with the volume's several maps, tables, indexes, and the introductory essay by Franz Schulze (professor of art history and art critic for the Chicago Sun Times) make this a most useful volume for finding, viewing, and understanding Chicago's public sculpture, one sure to inform and delight Chicago residents and visitors." -- from back wrapper.
