In addition to the split button, Claes has three other sculptures in the city, they are: The Clothespin across City Hall, the Giant Three-Way Plug at the Art Museum, and the latest addtion is the Paint Torch across from the Convention Annex. We are so fortunate to have such beautiful pieces of art in our city!
