De grootste Hammering Man is te vinden in Seoul (22 meter), daarna in Frankfurt (21 meter) en in Seattle (14,6 meter). In Basel kun je het kunstwerk bewonderen op de Aeschenplatz, waar hij sinds 1989 een plekje heeft gekregen. Het kunstwerk is 13,5 meter hoog en weegt ruim acht ton. De man slaat zo&#8217;n vier keer per minuut met de hamer, 24 uur per dag, aangedreven door een elektrisch motortje. Het kunstwerk moet de arbeider in ons allemaal voorstellen, iemand die net als ieder ander twee keer per dag mag &#8216;rusten&#8217;. Naast Basel staat er ook een Hammering Man in New York, Minneapolis, Los Angeles, Dallas, La Jolla (Californi\u00eb), Gainesville (Florida) en Lillestr\u00f8m (Noorwegen).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":583598,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"tip_category":[3244],"class_list":["post-11059","tip","type-tip","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tip_category-bezienswaardigheden"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Hammering Man is een kunstwerk in Basel<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Bezoek het bijzondere kunstwerk Hammering Man die onderdeel is van een serie van de Amerikaanse kunstenaar Borofky.
