Beskrivning
Marshall Fredericks’s Detroit sculptures capture the spirit of the Motor City and its dramatic transformation from the 1950s to the present day. In this book, Janna Jones analyzes eight of these enormous works of public art, situating them and their structures in metro Detroit’s distinctive midcentury milieu and bringing much-needed critical attention to this sculptor’s oeuvre. Sadly, some of these artworks have suffered along with the city as it shrank from its postwar zenith. Both the buildings and the sculptures erected for them deserve to be rescued from neglect, and then maintained and preserved for the future.

Recensioner i media

This highly readable urban, cultural, and visual history enacts “discursive preservation” to track the rise and fall of midcentury Detroit through Marshall Fredericks’s monumental sculptures. Deftly combining storytelling, archival research, and advocacy, Janna Jones makes a compelling case for the public artscape of one of the U.S. Midwest’s great cities as communal memory.—Jennifer L. Jenkins, professor and research social scientist, Southwest Center, University of Arizona
