  • Monumental Max Turner Patinated Bronze Life Size Otter Fountain Statue Sculpture
    Located in Dayton, OH
    A very large and impressive Max Turner fountain statue. Made out of bronze featuring a trio of guardian Otters. Circa 1997. The otter symbolizes friendship, peace, kindness and family. The otter is also social and mischievous and a symbol of grace, empathy, happiness and never-ending curiosity. Max Turner was born July 28, 1925 in Omaha, Nebraska and raised near Bingham Canyon, Utah. Growing up in a small mining town, Turner’s only insight into cosmopolitan culture was through discarded magazines, but reading things like Cosmo, Good Housekeeping and Red Book served as Turner’s first artistic inspiration. Turner knew that he wanted to see the world, and he was able to travel when he joined the U.S. Navy. Eventually, Turner settled in Los Angeles and his love of art and sculpture was able to thrive. Turned owned and operated a silkscreen printing company for 32 years, and later opened his own bronze foundry where he created high-quality bronze sculptures across a spectrum of genres.

The town was located in a narrow canyon on the eastern face of the Oquirrh Mountains. In 1938, when Max was 13, his family moved to Midvale, Utah. After completing high school, Max went to work laying rail until he was inducted into the U.S. Navy to serve during W.W. II.
