Spirit (sculpture)

Spirit is a 2002 bronze sculpture depicting John Denver, by American sculptor Sue DiCicco.

It was cast at Artworks Foundry in Berkeley, California, and was named "Spirit" by Rolland Smith, who served as master of ceremonies at the unveiling in October 2002.

[1] The statue shows singer and songwriter John Denver holding a large eagle in his left hand, with his guitar slung over his back.

The total wingspan of the eagle is 75 inches (190 cm), and the statue's weight is estimated at 1,300 pounds (590 kg), making it a painstaking process to move it from one place to another.

[3] In September 2013, after the Windstar Foundation was dissolved and its assets sold, the Spirit statue was removed from the Snowmass property and given to the Colorado Music Hall of Fame.
