      The Informed Eye
    • The book reveals the extensive and often unnoticed role of the federal government as a major patron of the arts in America, detailing how taxpayer money is allocated to various artistic projects without public input. It highlights extravagant and controversial expenditures, such as Frank Gehry's memorial to Eisenhower and a large sculpture that caused health issues for workers. Bruce Cole, a former chairman of the National Endowment for the Humanities, critiques these programs and advocates for reform or elimination of wasteful spending in the arts.
