Creative Time: The Book: 83 Years of Public Art in New York City

by Anna Pasternak, Lucy R. Lippard (Introduction)

Our 2007 publication of Creative The Book was a huge hit with artists, designers, and supporters of public art from all over the world. It quickly sold out amid the excitement generated by Creative Time's 33-day celebration of the 33rd year of their ongoing transformation of the public space of New York City into a canvas for awe-inspiring, experimentalart. Now available in paperback, Creative The Book presents the most innovative work from the organization's history. This dazzling volume features a diverse selection of projectsfrom the hilarious to the elegiac. Included are public works by many of the world's most dynamic, emerging, and established artists, among them Vito Acconci, Doug Aitken, Laurie Anderson, Diller + Scofidio, David Byrne, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Cai Guo-Qiang, Jenny Holzer, Ryan McGinness, Vik Muniz, Takashi Murakami, and Sonic Youth.
