“SILVER” DREAMS ON FORDHAM ROAD
Public Art Display on Fordham Road
FORDHAM ROAD, BRONX, NEW YORK

The Fordham Road Business Improvement District (BID) is proud to announce the unveiling of “Silver”, a ten foot tall sculpture of found and recycled material. Created by Christian Marche, a Bronx based artist, “Silver” was constructed from refuse collected from New York City streets and transformed into a sculpture. “Silver” was installed this month on the South-side overpass at the intersection of East Fordham Road and Grand Concourse.

This work of art was made possible through a partnership with the NYC Department of Transportation’s (DOT) Urban Art Program along with Barbara Bullard from the Al Johnson Art Studio. Additional funding for “Silver” was made possible with public funds from the Bronx Council on the Arts through the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs Greater New York Arts Development Fund Regrants Program.

The BID will be hosting a future public press unveiling of “Silver” with the artist in the coming weeks. An additional notification will be sent out that time.
