Vargas Submitted to the Department of Urban Studies and Planning on May 28, 1984 in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of City Planning. ABSTRACT Government authorities support the production of public art more vigorously than ever before. But the role of government in public art production is being debated. Critics accuse government art funding agencies of catering to the artistic tastes of society's upper classes while advocates of governmental support argue that emphasis on high artistic quality and peer review selection process ensure fairness. To date poor descriptions of the variety of public artworks have focussed the debate on vagueries rather than statistical material.
