One of the fine attractions of Depot Park is this sculpture which rises from the pond on the western edge of the park. It consists of three whitefish (an apropos subject for this city) rising out of the pond, supported by native rock set on a concrete bast at water level. The triad of six foot long fish are done in bronze and very finely detailed, showing lifelike scales on the body and bone in the fins.
The sculptor was
Cody Houston, a Montana artist who grew up a banker's son in North Carolina. The sculpture was commissioned by the City of Whitefish as a commemoration of the city's centennial in 2005.
If you would like your very own copy of this sculpture, the city has further commissioned a run of
35 numbered pieces, which can be bought for $2,000 each by contacting the City of Whitefish. Offers such as this don't occur every day.
That ad was probably posted in 2005, so they may well have been sold by now.
