Description: "New Jersey boasts more than 700 public sculptures. By surveying these works as a group, we learn who helped to shape New Jersey, what events we considered significant, and how we hope we will be remembered. Public Sculpture in New Jersey examines 150 years of past and current patterns in the commissioning and placement of outdoor art in the Garden State."--BOOK JACKET. "The book contains essays that profile 100 of the state's most significant works as well as the artists who created them, and features 84 photographs that document these works, capturing the effects of time and the environment on each sculpture."--BOOK JACKET.
