Wounded by 'Fearless Girl,' Creator of 'Charging Bull' Wants Her to Move

The sculptor who created the Charging Bull statue near Wall Street in New York City is upset by the Fearless Girl statue that was put up March 07 in honor of International Women's Day. The sculptor who created the Charging Bull almost 30 years ago says that the Fearless Girl was an insult to his work, which he created after the stock market crashes that happened in the late 1980s. Arturo Di Modica is the sculptor who created the design, also copyrighted and trademarked the three-and-a-half-ton sculpture that stands near Wall Street. Since March 7, the Charging Bull has faced off against the Fearless Girl, a statue of a girl that is posed with her fists on her hips and was commissioned by State Street Global Advisors, a financial firm based in Boston. Mr. Di Modica said that the Fearless Girl looks as though she is attacking the bull.

He said Now I'm going to turn around the bull myself. The lawyers said that the Fearless Girl statue had subverted the bull's meaning, which Mr. Di Modica defined as being about freedom in the world, peace, strength, power and love. Many people would probably disagree as the Fearless Girl statue has become a symbol of hope and equality for women. Fearless Girl is a bronze sculpture that was created by Kristen Visbal and depicts a defiant girl that is staring down the well-known Charging Bull also known as the Wall Street bull statue.

A bull market is a financial market of a group of securities when the prices are rising or are expected to rise. The term bull market is typically used to refer to the stock market but can also be applied to anything that is traded, such as currencies, bonds, and commodities.
