Books:
Public Sculpture in New Jersey: Monuments to Collective
Identity, by Meredith Arms Bzdak, Douglas Petersen.
Contributor Douglas Petersen. Published 
by
Rutgers University Press, 1999. ISBN 0813527007, 9780813527000. 214 pages.
Product Description: "This text examines the past 150 years of the
commissioning of outdoor art in the state of New Jersey. It contains essays
that profile the state's 100 most significant works and their creators,
telling the stories behind them.. From the Back Cover: New Jersey boasts
more than 700 public sculptures. By surveying these works as a group, we
learn who helped to shape New Jersey, what events we considered significant,
and how we hope we will be remembered. Public Sculpture in New Jersey examines
150 years of past and current patterns in the commissioning and placement
of outdoor art in the Garden State. The book contains essays that profile
100 of the state's most significant works as well as the artists who created
them, and features 84 magnificent photographs that document these works,
capturing the effects of time and the environment on each sculpture. Bzdak
and Petersen selected these works for the variety of stories they tell and
for their range of artistic expression, from traditional to contemporary,
rather than focusing only on the best-known or most visible works of public
sculpture. By telling the stories behind the sculptures, the book captures
New Jersey's history, especially history that may not be well known but
that conveys significant information about how our predecessors lived and
the official images they sought to leave behind." (text courtesy of
