Playboy Installs 20ft Neon Logo West of Marfa

[gallery ids="12950,12870,12875,12872,12873"]

"Playboy Marfa," is a temporary sculpture that brings a 13-feet wide by 20-feet tall set of neon bunny ears to town.The sculpture features a car perched a top an askew concrete block that's likened to a Donald Judd sculpture. Unlike many Big Bend construction projects, the scuplture went up quickly. Framework for the block and the ears were in place on Monday, and the installation was completed by Wednesday evening.

According to an article in Big Bend Sentinel, Playboy Enterprises has leased 6,500 square feet of land, on Highway 90 just west of Marfa to install the sculpture for about a year.
