Summary:

"Few topics in the visual arts have created such controversy in recent years as the debate surrounding the significance and potential of public art. Public Art was published in a bilingual edition in 2001 and quickly sold out. In this new English edition of the handbook over sixty curators, art historians, and artists -- including Vito Acconci, Daniel Buren, Walter Grasskamp, Jenny Holzer, Ilya Kabakov, Florian Matzner, and Richard Serra -- take a critical look at this theme: the result is a fascinating compendium of opinions, statements, and reports.
