The city maintains an excellent online catalog of the more than 1,000 monuments to be found in city parks.
The just-as excellent Web site forgotten-ny.com has several sections running down the statues of Manhattan.
Dianne Durante, author of the somewhat esoteric “Outdoor Monuments of Manhattan,” maintains an excellent Web site of her essays and other musings on what she calls representational art.
There are 97 busts in the Hall of Fame of Great Americans at Bronx Community College. Because there is already an excellent online tour of the hall, those memorials get only a passing mention here.
