The Charging Bull and Fearless Girl

One thing people look for if they visit the Wall Street area in NYC is the well known Charging Bull Statue

The Charging Bull Statue sometimes called the Wall Street Bull or Bowling Green Bull by Arturo Di Modica

It was originally a Guerilla art piece ie installed without any permit but was so popular it became a permanent feature

It weighs 7,100 pounds and is 11 Feet Tall, quite an impressive work of art installed in 1989

This year things changed when State Street Global Advisors commissions Kristen Visbal to make a Bronze Sculpture the Fearless Girl facing the Charging Bull

The Fearless Girl in comparison with the BUll is relatively small at 50 Inches Tall and weighing 250 Pounds but was another piece installed without a permit and has gained a mixed lot of feelings from people, varying from those of the Charging Bull Artist who wants it gone as he sees it as a cheap advertising stunt riding on the popularity of his sculpture

On the other hand there are many who feel it makes a powerful statement for the strength of woman and the need for more equality in the work place particularly in the financial companies and feel it should stay.

And will finish off with a kit so conventional shot of them
