Big Big Penny This sculpture by famous American artist Tom Otterness depicts a giant penny being rolled over by small characters. One character is in the path and seems about to be crushed by the large penny. Otterness's work often depicts -- with a touch of humor- - the little man's struggle against capitalist America. This sculpture shows a literal translation of this.
