New York City's 843-acre (3.41 km2) Central Park is the home of many works of public art in various media, such as bronze, stone and tile. Most are sculptures in the form of busts, statues, equestrian statues, and panels carved in low relief. Some sculptures do double-duty as fountains, or as part of fountains; some serve as memorials to a cause, to notable individuals, and in one case, to a notable animal. Most were donated by individuals or civic organizations; only a few were funded by the city.

Most were donated by individuals or civic organizations; only a few were funded by the city. Examples of public art in the park include statues of authors and poets installed along Literary Walk; statues of American statesmen such as that of Daniel Webster; statues of archetypical characters such as The Pilgrim, Indian Hunter, and The Falconer; sculptures depicting literary characters such as Alice in Wonderland; depictions of animals such as the statue of Balto; and an ancient artifact—the Egyptian obelisk known as "Cleopatra's Needle". More recent examples include the Duke Ellington Memorial and the Women's Rights Pioneers Monument. Public art in the park has from the beginning been representational in character; the abstract idiom has rarely, if ever, been employed. In recent years, park administrators have provided a forum for temporary exhibitions of artwork at the Doris Freedman Plaza, a concrete and cobblestone area located just outside the southeast entrance to the park, behind the Sherman Monument.
