编辑推荐 Review
Phifer nimbly guides us to enhanced understanding of the who, what, and why of artworks that attract the attention of New Yorkers and visitors alike. Buy this book and take it on a long walk through the open-air galleries that are our streets. --Fredric Bell, FAIA, Executive Director of the Center for Architecture
