Public Art in the Bronx

Photographing the borough’s public places

HUMANITIES, November/December 2009, Volume 30, Number 6

Two images from Public Art in the Bronx, an NEH-supported website launched by the Lehman College Art Gallery (http://www.lehman.edu/vpadvance/artgallery/publicart/) that features an eclectic array of over one hundred works found in the borough’s public places. This painted steel sculpture by Michael Browne and Stuart Smith rests a hare’s breadth from the cross-country finish line at Van Cortlandt Park.
