Abstract
Public art has attracted attention from researchers in various fields due to its wide research scope. However, there has been relatively little research on specific fields within the development process of public art and specific artistic phenomena in these fields. Understanding and grasping the context of this phenomenon from a macro perspective is not an easy task. This paper utilizes the advantages of Citespace, a literature-based visualization software, to conduct data visualization analysis on research literature in the specific field of public art over the past two decades.The results show that: (1) The number of publications on specific fields within public art in both the Web of Science (WOS) and CNKI (China National Knowledge Infrastructure) platforms has experienced two stages of research. (2) By analyzing the cooperation networks of authors and research institutions, the research status and influence of national institutions and journals on this topic in the last 20 years can be observed. The research institutions on the WOS platform exhibit a pattern of broad collaboration and exchange, while those on the CNKI platform tend to have smaller group collaborations. (3) Through keyword clustering analysis, nine clusters were identified. On the WOS platform, they were summarized into two main research directions: the specificity of public art locations and their relationship with art, and the practical approaches within specific fields of public art. On the CNKI platform, they were summarized into three main research directions: public art and publicness, the regional nature of specific fields, and the artistic forms within specific fields. (4) Based on the high-frequency keyword table and keyword timeline graph, research content and trends on the WOS platform focus more on identity, cultural heritage, location, contemporary art, community, and other related research questions. On the CNKI platform, more attention is given to research questions about publicness, artistry, urban landscapes, urban memory, art intervention, field specificity, contemporary art, and public participation.This paper visually analyzes the research frontier network relationship in the field of urban public art through graph visualization, providing theoretical support for the practice, theoretical development, research hotspots, and knowledge structure of public art.
