Sculpture: The Audience (Part 1) by Michael Snow

Two larger than life bronze figures lean over the railing of the Rogers Centre, frozen in a permanent state of anticipation. They are part of Michael Snow’s installation titled The Audience. The sculptures capture two fans with their hands pressed against the glass, caught in a moment of excitement before a game. When the city commissioned these pieces in the late eighties, the artist chose to depict the spectators rather than the athletes, shifting the focus to the people who fill the stadium.
