The recent anthology 'Let’s Go Outside: Art in Public' brings home how artists are leading critical shifts in public art—and how difficult that work really is. But as Jane O’Sullivan discovers in her review, the intense pressures on artists are producing some very, very different ideas about what makes a successful public artwork.

In our ongoing series, Shelf Portraits, Art Guide writers recommend the books—recently published or deserving of more attention—that shed new light on an idea that has long simmered in the art world or has helped them see a familiar medium in a different light.
