A Personal Definition of Public Art
Source: Designing the World’s Best Public Art
pg. 13: “...I suppose that the Airstream [trailer] was my first experience of American public art. After all, it accomplishes in a practical way, just about everything I have heard anyone want from a public artwork. It is visually stunning, an American icon, historically based, made of a durable material, requires little maintenance, is somewhat inexpensive, and does not offend the political, religious or moral sensibilities of too many people.”
