From Seattle''s earliest days as a Gold Rush boomtown to its celebration of the future during the 1962 World''s Fair, local artists have created public art installations--statuary, reliefs and other sculpture--that have become familiar features of the city''s landscape. This comprehensive study of 12 Seattle sculptors and their works examines the motivations of the artists and their benefactors, the development of the city''s public art policy, and the political forces behind the pieces that are now part of the city''s rich history. Biographical details and historical perspective are provided for such artists as Lorado Taft, Alice Robertson Carr, John Carl Ely, Max P. Nielsen, August Werner and James FitzGerald.
