The sculpture was completed in England and was transported to its current location The Brown Foundation, Inc. Plaza on March 27, 2018.[4] The sculpture weights around 21,000 pounds.[citation needed]
Some locals have given the artwork the nickname "El Frijole".[5] In Spanish, "frijol" means "bean", which is the English nickname for Kapoor's Chicago sculpture Cloud Gate (2006).
