Art, Space and the City by Malcolm Miles

This book sees public art outside the normal confines of art criticism and place it within broader contexts of public space and gender. Using different perspectives, it explores both the aesthetic and political aspects of the medium.

'While this is set to become a standard text in cultural institutions and art education, it nevertheless contains elements which general readers will find valuable' - An Magazine, Dec 1997
