Art in the Public Eye: The Making of Dark Star Park1988-01-01This piece documents the process behind the creation of Holt's major public art installation, Dark Star Park, in Arlington, Virginia.

Interviews with the artist, the architects, engineers, contractors, and the public, among others, reveal Dark Star Park as both a public sculpture and a functioning park that reclaims a blighted urban environment.More...
