Clothespin is a weathering steel sculpture by Claes Oldenburg. It is located at Centre Square 1500 Market Street Philadelphia. Oldenburg is noted for his attempts to democratize art and the location of Clothespin above SEPTA’s City Hall subway station allows thousands of viewers to view it on a daily basis. It was dedicated June 25 1976. Although Clothespin may be based on a mundane object this does not obscure its artistic qualities.
