Curatorial note
Seen at Edgemont Street, the work presents a rear fascia in which patches of paint have peeled away along the lower bumper. Since its acquisition in January 2026, the surface has accumulated dirt and scuffing, registering a slow palimpsest of street life at the curb. The piece anchors the museum's survey of long-duration urban surface phenomena in the Edgemont neighborhood.
