Maria Reidelbach (born July 23, 1956) is a Manhattan-based installation artist, curator and author who creates public art. In 1991, she wrote the definitive history of ''Mad'', the bestselling ''Completely Mad: A History of the Comic Book and Magazine'' (Little, Brown), ranked by ''Library Journal'' as "essential for pop culture collections." As an artist, she attempts an "interaction of art and life," bringing the people of New York City neighborhoods together in public art projects, sometimes involving found objects and retailer donations of materials, along with recycled items collected by dumpster diving through lower Manhattan. Born in Fort Monmouth, New Jersey, Reidelbach spent much time in western Pennsylvania where her mother's family were farmers. In 1985, at New York's Guggenheim Museum, she organized an exhibition on the eccentric visionary painter Alfred Jensen. Garnering favorable reviews, her art exhibitions and gallery shows have often displayed unusual subjects (art revealing the subjectivity of science, editorial cartoons, architect-designed furniture, Victorian underwear). Reidelbach worked with sculptor Milo Mottola to create the Totally Kid Carousel, an award-winning public artwork and amusement ride at Riverbank State Park (at 145th Street and Riverside Drive), facing the Hudson River. Displaying a menagerie of full-scale carousel figures designed in collaboration with neighborhood children, the carousel received the 1996 Award for Excellence in Design from the Art Commission of the City of New York. ==Miniature golf== In addition to several books on computers, she co-authored ''Miniature Golf'' (Abbeville Press, 1987), the only book ever bound in artificial turf, and in 2004, she teamed with the surreal artist Ken Brown to create Goofy Garden Golf, a decorative miniature golf course at Pier 2 (west of North Moore Street) in Manhattan's Hudson River Park. The Goofy Garden was planned as a tribute to Frieda Carter, who designed the first miniature golf course at Lookout Mountain, Tennessee, in 1928. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Maria Reidelbach」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
