The Hammering Man in Seattle is one of several sculptures created by artist Jonathan Borofsky, with others located in cities like Frankfurt, Seoul, and Los Angeles.
Standing at 48 feet tall, the Hammering Man is one of the tallest public art pieces in Seattle.
The sculpture's arm moves up and down, simulating the motion of hammering, from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily, except on Labor Day when it rests.
The sculpture is located outside the Seattle Art Museum, making it a prominent feature of the city's downtown area.
The sculpture is constructed from steel and aluminum, giving it both durability and a sleek, modern appearance.
The sculpture was installed in 1992, becoming an integral part of Seattle's public art landscape.
The sculpture represents the worker in all of us, highlighting themes of labor and the human spirit.
The Seattle Art Museum commissioned the piece as part of its commitment to integrating art into public spaces.
