The result was Free Stamp, a bold and distinctive installation that captured both a Pop Art sensibility and a connection to the city's industrial past. Sohio executives approved the design, and work was already underway, when British Petroleum acquired the company. The new owners quickly decided that the sculpture was "inappropriate" for their building and attempted to rid themselves of Free Stamp by donating it to the city of Cleveland--a gift that the city initially had no desire to accept. After much debate and public protest, the sculpture found a home in Willard Park, where it stands today. This is the first study of any sculpture by Oldenburg and van Bruggen to examine the genesis of their art from conception to installation. Edward J. Olszewski has put together a fascinating narrative based on interviews with the artists, archival material from city records, and in-house corporate memoranda, as well as letters to the editor and political cartoons. He traces the development of the sculpture from the artists' first sketches and models to the installation of the completed work in its urban environment"--|cProvided by publisher. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 600 10 Oldenburg, Claes,|d1929-|tFree stamp. 600 10 Oldenburg, Claes,|d1929-|xCriticism and interpretation. 600 10 Bruggen, Coosje van|xCriticism and interpretation. 650 0 Outdoor sculpture|zOhio|zCleveland. 650 0 Public sculpture|zOhio|zCleveland. 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Criticism, interpretation, etc.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01411635 776 08 |iPrint version:|aOlszewski, Edward J., 1937-|tClaes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen, Cleveland's Free Stamp. |dAthens, Ohio : Ohio University Press, 2017 |z9780821422717|w(DLC) 2017023507|w(OCoLC)959273913 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=1561273|zOnline eBook via EBSCO.
