The Duke Ellington Memorial by Robert Graham is installed at Duke Ellington Circle in Manhattan, New York City, New York. The monument depicts Duke Ellington at a piano, supported by three columns depicting three caryatids each, known as his nine muses. It was cast in 1997 and dedicated on July 1 of that year.[2][3] Pianist Bobby Short conceived of the memorial in 1979; it was the first statue erected in Ellington's honor in the country.[4]
