World's Largest Rubber Stamp - Cleveland
The sculpture was designed by Claes Oldenburg and his wife Coosje van Bruggen and is 8.79 m by 7.9 in size.
The “Free” stamp refers to the emancipation of American slaves during and after the civil war.
The two artists are known worldwide for their oversized sculptures, and there are also some of them to be seen in Europe.
The stamp was commissioned by Standard Oil of Ohio (BP) and first placed in front of their building. BP later gave it to the city of Cleveland.
