Paperback. Etat : Good. Although Nancy came to public art late in life, she more than made up for it. The Tortoise and the Hare in Boston's Copley Square greet Boston Marathon runners as they cross the finish line, McCloskey's Sal's Bear graces Maine's Botanical Gardens, as do Lentil and His Dog in Hamilton, Ohio. Each of them posed unique challenges and each generated original, unforgettable results. Here the focus is on her major public projects and commissions: how they came about, and who, and what, inspired them. And the book is hands on. She explains what goes into making a beautiful and tactile work of public art, from the wax maquettes to the casting in bronze, from dealing with budgets and logistics to the diplomacy required for dealing with public places and elected officials. Her story offers encouragement to anyone trying to express themselves, whether artist, athlete, dancer, musician or writer, for she demonstrates that drive and determination (when coupled with an undeniable talent) can overcome any roadblock and produce remarkable results.…

Hardback. Etat : Good. Inspired by Robert McCloskey?s beloved children?s book of the same name, the iconic bronze Make Way for Ducklings sculpture in Boston?s Public Garden has come to serve as something of a record of the recent decades of life in the city itself. In a series of delightful photographs taken by members of the public, Ducks on Parade! chronicles many of the original, moving, humorous, and startling outfits that artistic Bostonians have dressed the ducks in. From summer hats to winter scarves, from the Women?s March to Black Lives Matter, the ducks reflect the life of the city and our country. Featuring a text by sculptor Nancy Schön, this book is a tribute to all Bostonians whose creativity and generosity have made this constant collaborative art possible. More than this, it is a revealing look at the lasting power of public art and how viewers can also be participants. Ducks on Parade! is perfect for whimsical readers of any age.…
