It's so hard to pick just one! I took a public art class with Janet Zweig while in grad school and we read the books shared above as well as Dialogues in Public Art by Tom Finkelpearl. I've always appreciated the multiple perspectives presented in the book: artist, administrator, architect, etc.

Best of luck with the class!

While it is out of print, I have my students read Erika Doss’ Spirt Poles and Flying Pigs.  While written in 1995, I still find it relevant and on target.  For a more historical perspectives I also like Harriet Senie and Sally Webster’s Critical Issues in Public Art.

If you were to recommend ONE resource to a group of college-age students who are learning about how to interpret public art for others (written, signage, in-person), what would that resource be?  Here’s the one I’d recommend:  

F. Senie, Harriet. (2008). Reframing Public Art: Audience Use, Interpretation, and Appreciation. 10.1002/9780470775936.ch9. 

Any others?
