About
The world's largest clothespin is a 45-foot, 10-ton Cor-Ten steel sculpture by pop artist Claes Oldenburg, planted right across from City Hall since 1976. The steel spring in the middle is shaped like the number "76", a nod to the Bicentennial. Oldenburg himself said the two halves represent an embracing couple, inspired by Brancusi's sculpture _The Kiss_. Free to view anytime.
