Abstract (en)

Discusses four recent outdoor sculpture projects commissioned for public spaces in the Washington, DC area: Anna and David, 1987 (Rosslyn, VA) by Miriam Schapiro; Promenade Classique, 1986 (Alexandria, VA), a collaborative work by artists Anne and Patrick Poirier and landscape architect M. Paul Friedberg; Malabar, 1984 (Washington, DC) by Elyn Zimmerman; Dark Star Park, 1984 (Rosslyn, VA) by Nancy Holt. Notes the ingredients that contribute to the success of these public sculpture projects, highlighting the role played by women artists in reconciling the personal concerns of the artist with those of the community.
