Public Sculpture and the Civic Ideal in New York City, 1890-1930

Bogart's groundbreaking consideration of public art as a topic for serious scholarly consideration examines the sustained and organized effort to create in New York a body of municipal sculpture that would express the civic ideal: an urban vision of patriotism, civilization, and good government. It follows the brief movement through its rise and fall, attempting to explain why sponsorship for such civic projects lasted only for a limited time.Bogart, Michele H. is the author of 'Public Sculpture and the Civic Ideal in New York City, 1890-1930' with ISBN 9780226063096 and ISBN 0226063097.
