PALM BEACH, Fla. - Jan. 6, 2023 - PRLog -- (Palm Beach, FL – January 6, 2023) Distinguished art historian and Palm Beach gallery owner Deborah C.

"Ms. Pollack's work is certain to increase awareness of the art and beauty of sculpture that is all around us in Florida and will inspire residents and visitors alike to appreciate sculpture as an art form. This highly engaging book is divided into geographical regions, and it demonstrates that each area in Florida is home to fine sculpture. From the Manatee Dance at the Governor's Mansion in Tallahassee to Ann Weaver Norton's Seven Beings in West Palm Beach, there is sculpture to be enjoyed. … Pollack has done the people of Florida a great service by compiling this wonderful book."
