Imbued with humour, this delightful patinated bronze cow by western Canadian sculptor Joe Fafard is inscribed with artist's signature, date and edition number, AP II. From an edition of 9.

Born into a French Canadian family of farmers, Joe Fafard (1942-2019) completed a BFA in 1966 at the University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, and a Masters of Arts degree with Pennsylvania State University. In 1968, Fafard taught sculpture and pottery at the University of Saskatchewan, Regina, but left in 1974 to become a full time sculptor. 

Fafard was named an Officer the Order of Canada in 1981 and received honorary doctorates from the University of Regina, the University of Manitoba in 2007 and the U. of Saskatchewan in 2012. The National Gallery of Canada with the Mackenzie Art Gallery in Regina mounted a retrospective exhibition of the artist’s work that toured to six venues between 2007 and 2009.
