From Seattle's earliest days to its celebration of the future during the 1962 World's Fair, local artists have created public art installations that became familiar features of the city's landscape. This study of 12 Seattle sculptors and their works examines the motivations of the artists and their benefactors, the development of the city's public art policy, and the political forces behind the pieces.
