Charging Bull

Bowling Green, Broadway @ Whitehall Street
Arturo DiModica, 1989

A relative newcomer to the Wall Street area, this 7,000 pound bull statue crouches with massive power, making it clear that, if he has anything to say about it, we’ll always have a bull market. And who’s going to argue with him? Artist Arturo DiModica cast the sculpture and installed it across from 25 Broadway without permission; the city tried to remove it, but stockbrokers intervened to make the stock market mascot into a permanent fixture.
