From the Alamo and Gettysburg to Mount Rushmore and the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, Monuments is celebrated architectural historian Judith Duprs sweeping tribute to classic American landmarks. But included too are contemporary monuments that are changing the way we think about commemorationthe AIDS Quilt, a traveling memorial made for the people by the people, and even the haunting lyrics of Bruce Springsteens The Rising, an intangible remembrance of September 11th. Monuments features more than 200 stunning duotone photographs, as well as fascinating stories, rare illustrations, candid interviews with artists and architects, and a unique chronology of milestones in the history of time and memory. Ultimately, Monuments is about life. It tells the stories of real people, the ordinary and the renowned, whose lives, though immortalized, exist most fully in the mind and heart.
