Freedom in Form: Richard Hunt is a richly illustrated 116-page exhibition catalog accompanying the major retrospective of the same name, organized by the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum (ALPLM) in Springfield, Illinois. This publication delves into the life and work of Richard Hunt (1935–2023), a pioneering sculptor renowned for his abstract metal works and prolific public art commissions across the United States.

Contributors include curator Ross Stanton Jordan, Hunt's biographer Jon Ott, and historian Timothy J. Gilfoyle, PhD. Forewords by ALPLM Executive Director Christina Shutt and Rev. Michael J. Garanzini, SJ, provide additional perspectives on Hunt's legacy. ​
