Description: "Contemporary public art plays an expressive role in urban spaces; it offers a means of humanizing the cities. The artwork displayed in the São Paulo metro is designed to provide the thousands of daily passengers with a source of esthetic enjoyment through an exposure to Brazilian contemporary art. It is also an effective way of involving commuters with contemporary cultural expression. This book contains a number of theoretical essays about and color reproductions of the artwork displayed on stations walls, platforms, etc. Also includes all technical and biographical information in Portuguese and English"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
