The Turquoise Badge, Cottage Street — North Philadelphia

Curatorial note

Seen anchored by the turquoise circular permit on the windshield, the curbside form sits at the edge of the street. Since its acquisition in January 2026, the red exterior has occupied its position on Cottage Street, catching light and revealing minor wear along the lower edge. The work contributes to the museum’s record of ordinary, long-duration urban forms in North Philadelphia.
