The Lure of the Local: Sense of Place in a Multicentered Society is a 1997 study of the sense of place, by American author and 1968 Guggenheim Fellowship winner Lucy Lippard. The phrase, coined by Lippard, in this study refers to a sense of place that an individual can have about where she lives, or where he lived in his childhood. The New York Times calls the book a "wide-ranging survey".[1] Lippard's work discusses a diverse array of topics including historic preservation, landscape photography, public art, and environmental pollution.[1] The book's layout is unusual, encouraging readers to think locally, globally, and esthetically simultaneously.[1] She is critical of the public art movement, and the lack of connection between the artists and the places their art is installed.[1]
