It's A What?
The wooden and steel sculpture in the yard of 1244 Louisiana provides the passerby with an interesting view. The sculpture has sat in the yard for two years and is now on sale It was made by Wes Koehler, a former KU art student.
The four wooden and steel sculptures in the yards of 1244 and 1246 Louisiana St. are strange, striking and for sale.
They were created as a project of Wes Koehler two years ago for his sculpture classes at KU. They have since become permanent fixtures in front of Marvin MacDougall's apartment houses.
"When Wes was making them," said Gregory Walstrom, assistant instructor in design, "he was working with the breakup of space. These are environmental sculptures."
The first of the art pieces to be installed in the fall of 1966 on Louisiana Street was the large

wheel supported by the two poles. Additions were made as Koehler completed them until the last, the cylindrical work with the "flowers" sprouting from each side was placed there in March, 1967.
"The yards were arranged for them," said Walstrom, "and I think they will be there permanently. But they are for sale."
The sculptures might be strange, said Mrs. MacDougall, but art has changed.
She said she and her husband also have some of Koehler'; smaller works inside and will keep out them for him until he gets out of the Navy in two years.
Mrs. MacDougall said the works have caused considerable comments from the neighbors,
"Wes is not an average person," she said, "Even the jobs he is given in the Navy are those asking for a lot of skill with his hands."
