The installation went up quickly, taking only three days to fully construct. It consists of the famous Playboy icon onto of a 40-foot pole and a 1972 Dodge Charger car sitting on top of a concrete block. The installation was revealed to big names in the art and fashion communities at a dinner at The Standard, High Line in NYC.
