“城市雕塑”的概念虽然在我国已经约定俗成,但值得注意的是,国外学界始终没有出现类似的名词。从学理上看,“城市雕塑”这一概念有其模糊性,似乎不够严谨。本期对“城市雕塑”与“公共艺术”进行概念上的辨析,对相关现象展开观察。一些文章在肯定当下中国城市雕塑业绩的同时,也探讨了此领域里的弊病,值得业界人士深思。文章还指出,我们目前使用的“城雕”一词属于“公共艺术”概念范畴,而“公共艺术”的建构,必须以现代社会伦理意识为基础,必须出台合理的公共艺术政策以保障其健康发展。 Although the concept of “urban sculpture” has been established in our country, it is noteworthy that no similar term has ever been found in foreign academic circles.

This issue provides a conceptual analysis of the “urban sculpture” and “public art”, and observes the related phenomena.

The article also points out that the term “city sculpture” we are currently using belongs to the category of concept of “public art”, and the construction of “public art” must be based on the ethics of modern society and must be formulated with reasonable public Art policy to ensure its healthy development.
