New York’s public sculpture, monument by monument
An illustrated guide to the sculptures and monuments woven into New York City’s streets, parks, and plazas. Jack Byard pairs major landmarks—including the Statue of Liberty, the Charging Bull, and Bethesda Fountain’s Angel of the Waters—with lesser-known works found beyond the city’s most familiar routes. The book frames each statue through its creation, artist, historical context, and cultural place, treating public art as a record of the people and ideals associated with the city. At 84 pages, it offers a compact introduction to the monuments that make New York’s urban landscape an open-air collection.
