Curatorial note

Seen at the curb on 146 W Tulpehocken Street, the work presents a black pickup whose tailgate branding dominates the frame. The large CHEVROLET lettering across the tailgate frames the composition and is read against a dusty surface. Acquired January 2026, the piece remains a curbside presence in Philadelphia, its surface accumulating dust and light scratches that bear witness to its ongoing encounter with the street.
