Love it-Hate it, It is a true piece of Cleveland

One of the most controversial works of art displayed in the City of Cleveland is Oldenburg and van Bruggen?s Free Stamp. Located in Willard Park to the East of City Hall, this massive aluminum and planted steel sculpture is difficult to miss with its large red handle sprawling across the lawn and metal base sinking into the ground displaying the word ?FREE? in backwards letters to passersby on Lakeside Avenue. Some people see the Free Stamp as an inspiring work of Pop Art that represents our liberty as American citizens and reflects our City?s industrial progress. Others view it as an eyesore that is inappropriate for a location at the heart of the City?s Civic Center. This debate has been going on since the piece was first commissioned in 1982 and still echoes throughout the City today.
