Michael Snow | Walking Woman Brooch Set

Michael Snow

Walking Woman Brooch Set

Toronto, Canada: Art Gallery of Ontario, 1994

6.4 cm. length

Edition of 800 numbered copies

In the early part of this century these Sterling Silver brooches could still be had for $75 or so, if I remember correctly. Not wanting to wear one, I never bought a copy, which I now regret. I also regret that I didn’t take our friend Leah Singer’s wise advice and propose to Michael that our Nothing Else Press produce a reprint. I imagine there’d be a large audience clamouring for them. 

I love that the brooch can be worn as either the positive or negative space, of Snow’s iconic Walking Woman figure. 

In October of 2025, one of these was available at Waddington’s auction house, with an estimate of between $800 and $1200. It sold for more than twice the high estimate: $2500.
