    DescriptionThis is a maquette of Oldenburg's second major outdoor sculpture in Philadelphia. Placed in front of Blanche Levy Park, the button is divided into four parts - for William Penn's original Philadelphia squares. The split represents the Schuylkill River, which separates Pennsylvania from New Jersey.
