“A crazy huge stamp”
Willard Park is a public park in downtown Cleveland, in the U.S. state of Ohio. The park sits at the northwest corner of East 9th Street and Lakeside Avenue, adjacent to Cleveland City Hall, and is within the boundaries of the Cleveland Mall historic district. It is the location of the public sculpture Free Stamp, and is the home of the original Cleveland Fire Fighters Memorial.
The Free Stamp is an outdoor sculpture located in Willard Park. Created by Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen, it has been called the "world's largest rubber stamp".The dimensions of the sculpture are 28 ft 10 in (8.79 m) by 26 ft (7.9 m) by 49 ft (15 m). The sculpture depicts a rubber stamp with the word "FREE" in its stamping area.
March 5/15 no longer under construction!
Went by and it was under construction. A very friendly gentleman told us that it had been for months and also explained that it was being refinished. We were amazed to watch one lonely worker HAND SANDING the entire thing. It was still pretty cool looking though. A nice stop if you are heading to or from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
It's huge as indicated. Unfortunately, its currently under construction or maintenance. Drove by it today, and it was surrounded by a fence. :( We couldn't get good pictures.
HUGE!!! great pictures! My 4yr old daughter thought it was amazing!
One of a few super cool art installations in downtown Cleveland. Makes for great photo ops
this stamp is not made of rubber. it's a very cool price of art but you can hardly call it the "worlds largest rubber stamp".
It's huge but under construction right now. When not under construction it makes for a good photo opportunity.
Drove by on Friday, Oct 10th 2014 and it is still under construction - fence around it and the 'FREE' stamp was just a plain flat surface. But, still cool to see. It is pretty massive.
