Minnesotans
have in the past century honored heroes and public figures, created
mythic and heroic town symbols, funded abstracts on public streets
and walkways, and now find themselves surrounded by a growing
forest of sculpture carved by the chainsaw. Minnesota has more
than 630 different pieces of outdoor sculpture, located in 150
different communities.
This is an
indispensable guide to the big Bunyans, furrowed forefathers and
40-foot fish sculptures that populate Minnesota's blue highways.
Art historian Moira F. Harris offers the history and mythology
behind the creation of more than 630 pieces of outdoor sculpture
located in 150 communities throughout Minnesota. Minnesota
