Today, the digital age proliferates and democratizes knowledge as never before, while the very idea of truth is questioned and debated. One of our most literary artists, Kiefer returns to the symbolism of the book: elevated and powerful but also dangerous and vulnerable.” - Our Director and Chief Curator Nicholas Baume.

“There’s a generosity and a potency to Ai Weiwei’s work. There’s the sheer beauty of many of the pieces. But that beauty has an edge to it, it has a message to it. And, the conversations that it inspires and hopefully the action that it encourages is so much a part of Public Art Fund and public art at its best.” - Our President Susan K Freedman. Last week we honored Ai Weiwei and his valuable contributions. Take a look at what working with the iconic artist has meant to us.

We’re kicking off Women’s History Month by remembering our founder, Doris C. Freedman! As a champion of public art, she founded the Public Arts Council and was the President of City Walls, combining the two in 1977 to form Public Art Fund. Doris also served as New York City’s first Director of Cultural Affairs, President of the Municipal Art Society of New York, and was a tireless supporter of New York City’s Percent for Art legislation. Today, we are lucky to have to her daughter, Susan K Freedman, as our President.

This World AIDS Day, we look back at Bing Lee & Garson Yu: A 30-Second Public Service Announcement on AIDS, 1992. For their 30-second television spot, Lee and Yu utilized the ancient Chinese board game “GO” as a metaphor for the spread of HIV. http://bit.ly/PAF30Seconds

Unidentified Object was an eight-ton 11.5’-tall sculpture, carved from black basalt by Isamu Noguchi (1905-1988, b. Los Angeles, CA). Public Art Fund’s exhibition marked the first installation of a Noguchi in a public space in New York City.
Happy Birthday, Isamu Noguchi (November 17, 1904 – December 30, 1988).
