United States Map as Art

At a recent birthday party, while my cake blazed like the wreck of the Hindenburg, I was gifted with a great book: The Map as Art: Contemporary Artists Explore Cartography (Thank you, Suzanne!). A related Web feature is available at http://www.womansday.com/Articles/Family-Lifestyle/10-Amazing-U.S.-Map-Artworks.html (the top Aaron Foster piece is behind the counter at the Smithsonian Museum of American Art gift shop, next time you’re in Washington, D.C.).
