Big Bling rises over the river, dwarfing most trees, and its gilded "shackle" – high up on its headlike top – glitters in the late afternoon sun. BB was commissioned by the Madison Square Park Conservancy, and it graced the park, between E. 23rd and 26th Streets in Manhattan, for a year. The association partnered with Madison Square to bring the piece to Philadelphia for six months; it will most likely return to Puryear's studio when its stay here is completed.
