  • What word is spelled backwards on pop artist Claes Oldenburg’s king-size rubber stamp sculpture that’s on display near city hall in Cleveland, Ohio?
FREE. The gigantic steel-and-aluminum stamp, created by Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen in 1985, is 28 feet tall and 48 feet long. It was commissioned by what is now the Amoco Oil Company for its Cleveland headquarters, but by the time it was completed the company’s new management wanted nothing to do with it.
