Your guide to Philadelphia’s Art + Public Space since 2011.
Never seen anything like this in Philly… A huge paste of a photograph of a woman just got put up on 6th street, right before you turn to get on the Ben Franklin Bridge. (Someone – most likely not the artist – filled in a few of her teeth with a Sharpie.)
Some people on my Instagram seem to be pretty positive that this is a photo of that woman who sells roses right at that intersection. You know that woman – she’s been doing it for over at least a decade now.
Either way, I LOVE this!!
i was so excited to see this! i love that woman – she’s out there all the time selling flowers. always waving and smiling – makes my day. nice little tribute to her – although i wonder if she had any clue it was going to be going up there :)
