Synopsis
Bogart's groundbreaking consideration of public art as a topic for serious scholarly consideration 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. It follows the brief movement through its rise and fall, attempting to explain why sponsorship for such civic projects lasted only for a limited time. Dozens of carefully selected photographs and drawings illustrate key aspects of the sculptures and architecture discussed.
Delving deeply into the art itself and the political and cultural forces that spurred its creation, Public Sculpture and the Civic Ideal in New York City, 1890-1930 is an invaluable resource for both art historians and serious students of New York City's history.

Review
A pioneering work, well-illustrated and carefully conceived . . . . Bogart has taken a subject long presumed to embody consensus -- American academic sculpture -- and has, through probing questions and careful research, brought forth a more complex view of this art. (Archives Of American Art)
Bogart goes beyond the study of the professional sculptors to analyze the civic ideal itself -- an ideal that accommodated their professional aspirations even as the sculpturs gave the ideal its tangible form. (American Quarterly)
A major contribution . . . Bogart investigates an interesting and underexplored period in American sculpture and an important group of works created during that time. (Art Journal)
