background when viewed from the river.

exceeding 25 per cent.




Whereas, An unusual number of busts, statues and other memorials have already been

placed in the parks of The City of New York, and as the indiscriminate use of statuary in the

parks of the city is contrary to the best interests of art, as represented in higher landscape

gardening and detrimental to the beauty of the parks; and

Whereas, Many memorials and statues of little or no artistic value and of no popular interest

have, from time to time, been phced in the parks of the city, for want of proper rules; therefore,

be it

Resolved, That the following rules and regulations be and hereby are adopted for the regu

lation of the acceptance of stll-tuary and for the general protection of the parks of The City of

New York :

I. No statue, bust, memorial or memorial building of any description shall be erected in the

parks of The City of New York in any part of a park where the scenery is of a predominating

natural character.

2. Statues shall be placed only as adjuncts to buildings, bridges, viaducts or other structural

work purely artificial in their nature, and in parks laid out in the architectural style, when

required to heighten and beautify the effect of the scenery.

3. Statues of great artistic beauty only and appropriate in size may be placed in any of the

small parks at the intersection of two or more avenues; such statues shall, however, be of great

national, civic or universal interest in order to be accepted.

4. No existing natural scenery, no rock, woodland, lawn or existing drive shall be destroyed

or altered in order to accommodate any statuary or memorial, and such statuary or memorial

shall be secondary in importance to the natural features which must prevail in a park.

5. Statuary, buildings or other structures of whatever character, shall be considered

ISt. As objects of art.

2d. In their relation to the landscape.

No such statuary, building or structure, even if in itself satisfactory as a work of art, shall be

accepted unless it will help to heighten or offset the beauty of the landscape, and unless a satis

factory and appropriate site shall be found in conformity with previous rules.

6. Buildings required for the comfort of the public or for administrative purposes shall be

excepted from the above restrictions, but such buildings shall be made as unobtrusive as their

137 [MARCH 29. 19'00."",'

purpose will admit, and must be of the most moderate size and shall be screened from view as

much as possible.

7. The pedestal of any statue or bust placed in any of the parks of The City of New York

shall not exceed two-thirds of the height of the statue proper, nor shall the base occupy more

area than is necessary in order to preserve the proper proportions of ·the pedestal and statue.

8. Statuary and structures already in the parks, if not placed in conformity with the previouli

fules, may, if condemned by the Art Commission, be removed by the Commissioner of Parks.
