Bronze sculpture by Pete Helzer in Eugene, Oregon, U.S.
The Storyteller , also known as the Ken Kesey Memorial ,[1] is an outdoor bronze sculpture by Pete Helzer , installed at Kesey Square (located at Broadway and Willamette Street) in Eugene, Oregon , in the United States. Unveiled in 2003,[2] it depicts American novelist, essayist, and countercultural figure Ken Kesey reading to his three grandchildren, Kate Smith, Caleb Kesey and Jordan Smith.[3] [4] Plaques on the base of the sculpture contain excerpts from Kesey's novels One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1962)[citation needed ] and Sometimes a Great Notion (1964).[5]
History [ edit ]
According to Art Daily , the estimated cost of US$120,000 was covered by a variety of sources, "including Phil Knight , Paul Newman , Michael Douglas , Mason Williams , Miloš Forman , Phil Lesh , Bob Weir , Tom Robbins , Larry McMurtry , Jean Auel , Tom Wolfe , Ed McClanahan , Kenny Moore , Sterling Lord , Dale Wasserman , Rolling Stone magazine, Viking Penguin , Rich Brooks , Dave Frohnmayer , Brian Booth, the Chambers Foundation, and Bill Walton ".[6]
In October 2016, the Eugene City Council began considering a proposal from a local development group to buy the square, remove the sculpture, and replace the open space with apartments.[7] Kesey Square (formerly known as Broadway Plaza), in downtown Eugene, is viewed as "valuable open space by some and as an eyesore by others".[7] Some downtown merchants have complained about nuisance behavior of "travelers", transients who gather at the plaza, using drugs or alcohol, harassing customers.[8]
A local merchant who owns property adjacent to the square submitted a second proposal, an update of his 1995 proposal that the Council had rejected.[7] That proposal is to remove brick walls around the square, building a brewery and kitchen incubator, but leaving the sculpture intact.[7] A supporter of the "Save Kesey Square" Facebook page expressed the sentiment, "Public space creates and increases consciousness about what we can create and what we can imagine."[9]
According to The Register-Guard , "The city is considering three options for the space: its sale or lease for private redevelopment (including plans for a six-story apartment building with first-floor eateries and retail shops); a public improvement project; or leaving it as is."[9]
