• Homeless man asleep under "FREE" stamp

Free place to sleep

A homeless man asleep under the Free Stamp sculpture in downtown Cleveland. Sculpture by Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen. For more info, see www.city.cleveland.oh.us/around_town/city_highlights/land...

From that page:
"Van Bruggen suggested the word “Free” to represent liberty and independence and to make a positive statement in the heart of the City" which makes the homeless man sleeping underneath it all the more ironic.
