So many great recommendations.  I would also recommend A Companion to Public Art, (2016) edited by Cher Krause Knight and Harriet Senie, published by Wiley Blackwell. Wide ranging essays that bring some of the topics mentioned by others up to speed.  The audience is students.

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?
