Sculptor Michael Price created this statue of F. Scott Fitzgerald in 1996 as St. Paul celebrated Fitzgerald’s centennial birthday. It stands in Rice Park.

Project patron Garrison Keillor commented, “This sculpture was conceived as a figure in the midst of things, a figure you could walk up to and talk to. Fitzgerald was a writer and a writer encounters his public one by one, as readers.”

This 1995 sculpture by Hamline professor Michael Price features Bishop Leonidas Hamline, the namesake of Hamline University.

Price describes the sculpture:

“I have tried to express the character of this complex man, and at the same time the character of this institution and its aspirations. He was a man of conviction: intelligent, articulate and thorough. And he was both pragmatic and spiritual. I hope that you find this sculpture to be straightforward; dignified and strong, well grounded and bound by spirit.”
