Spine by Jud Fine and Harry Reese

Written by artists Jud Fine and Harry Reese, Spine is an account of the Jud Fine art plan (also known as "Spine") at the Maguire Gardens, Los Angeles Central Library. This publication describes the permanent outdoor art installation "Spine" that was commissioned by Maguire Thomas Partners and the Los Angeles Public Library from Jud Fine, who was assisted on the project by Harry Reese. The book responds to frequently-asked questions about the origin and context of the sculptures and inscriptions that are included in the installation that opened to the public in October, 1993. While giving insight into and information about this specific art project in its particular location, this book contributes commentary by artists to current discussions and considerations about art in public places.
