The sculpture is crafted from fiberglass, a material chosen for its durability and ability to withstand Denver's varied weather conditions.
The sculpture was created by John McEnroe, a Denver-based artist known for his innovative use of materials and public art installations.
The sculpture was installed in 2008 as part of the city's public art initiative to enhance urban spaces with creative works.
It is prominently located at the intersection of 16th Street and Broadway, a bustling area in downtown Denver.
Locals affectionately refer to the sculpture as the 'Big Red Chair' due to its striking color and shape.
Standing at an impressive 20 feet tall, the sculpture is a notable landmark in the cityscape.
The name is a playful nod to the 1944 film of the same name, though the sculpture itself bears no direct relation to the movie.
