{"product_id":"make-way-for-nancy-a-life-in-public-art","title":"Make Way for Nancy: A Life in Public Art","description":"For artists and makers, the entertaining, informative, and inspirational story of a public art sculptor.\n\nNancy Schön is the creator of the Make Way for Ducklings sculpture in the Boston Public Garden. Based on Robert McCloskey’s beloved children’s book, visited by many thousands of children and adults every year, the sculpture has become as familiar and beloved a Boston landmark as the swan boats and the gold dome of the State House.\n\nNow Ms. Schön tells the story of how the ducks came to Boston (along with the multiple political, artistic and personal challenges involved) as well as her other major public projects and commissions: how they came about, and who, and what, inspired them. 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.\n\nFor any artist or activist looking to make a difference in the public square, this story demonstrates that drive and determination can overcome any roadblock and produce remarkable results.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1567926061\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1567926061.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Nancy Schon|Anita Diamant\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
