Examines the sustained and organized effort to create in New York a body of municipal sculpture that would express the civic ideal, an urban vision of patriotism, civilization, and good government. This book follows the movement through its rise and fall, attempting to explain why sponsorship for such civic projects lasted only for a limited time.
