Outdoor Sculpture in Baltimore : A Historical Guide to Public Art in the Monumental City, Hardcover by Kelly, Cindy; Remsberg, Edwin Harlan (PHT), ISBN 080189722X, ISBN-13 9780801897221, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US Much more than a simple visitors' or residents' guide, this volume embodies thorough research, clearly organized, and it models what can result from a serious and systematic look at a city's history through its public art. Each of 246 entries is documented with text relating the stories the author collected through interviews and archival research. These stories include description of the many decisions made by public officials as well as the decisions made by the sculptors themselves--all of which contributed to the sculpture's creation and display--and the history of each work's reception. B&w photos support the text but are intended only to guide and entice readers rather than dazzle. Maps designate 18 walking and driving tours. Appendices provide further information including a time line, resources, and listings of relocated sculptures and of sculptures re-sited indoors to avoid damage. Indexing is thorough. Cindy Kelly is former director of Historic Houses of The Johns Hopkins U. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
