Wendy Red Star's sculpture proposal for the High Line Plinth, titled One Blue Bead, is open for voting and feedback on the High Line website through September 8.
One Blue Bead is a vertical stack of four monumental trade beads, each drawn from objects that circulated through global exchange. From Venetian chevron beads to those tied to westward expansion and the myth of Manhattan’s purchase, the sculpture traces how value, land, and identity were shaped through trade. It holds these histories in tension within the city they helped form.
