HIGH LINE BILLBOARD: The First $100,000 I Ever Made

Did you know that the $100,000 bill was the largest note ever printed by the United States, and that the bills were never circulated to the public?

You can now see a larger-than-life reproduction on the billboard next to the High Line at West 18th Street. It is part of a new High Line Art installation called The First $100,000 I Ever Made by John Baldessari, one of the seminal figures in the conceptual art movement.

The artwork made its debut last Friday and will remain on view until Friday, December 30.

Learn more about it and see photos on our blog.

Double the Impact of Your Year-End Gift

This year, you can make your year-end support of the High Line go twice as far. A generous, anonymous member has pledged to match all year end gifts made by December 31—up to $100,000!

This challenge could not have come at a better time. In 2012, we will care for a full 20 blocks of the park year-round. At the same time, we will be working full speed at the rail yards, beginning the design process, and even planning to start site preparation.

Your contribution now will provide the financial security and stability we need to keep the park extraordinary, even as we to open the rail yards to the public. And when you make your gift by December 31, your support will be matched dollar-for-dollar!

Keep the High Line extraordinary in 2012 – and double your impact. Give Now.
