CREATIVE TIME: THE BOOK exposes how this visionary cultural provocateur completely changed the notion of art in the public realm and made it possible for more than 1300 artists to create over 300 awe-inspiring works that enlivened and transformed the city over the past three decades. The book, published by Princeton Architectural Press, features 325-pages of photos and text by a wide range of acclaimed scholars and artists exploring the issues, ideals, and values that have defined the organization, as well as NYC’s history. From legendary projects such as Art on the Beach, Art in the Anchorage, Tribute in Light, and cloud writing to small and timely interventions that gave artists a voice – all gave us moments of surprise, often inspiration, and enabled us to experience the city in new ways.

Creative Time: The Book is made possible through the outstanding lead support of the Annenberg Foundation. Additional generous funding provided by the Horace W. Goldsmith Foundation, Elizabeth Firestone Graham Foundation, and the National Endowment for the Arts.
