Did you know that the famous Charging Bull is a piece of guerrilla art? It was installed without permission in 1989 by the artist Arturo Di Modica in Bowling Green Park in the Financial District in New York. A bull is a symbol of aggressive financial prosperity. The Charging Bull symbolizes the strength of the American people after the stock-market crash in 1987. The New York residents loved it and it was allowed to stay. The artist placed similar bulls in Amsterdam (2012) and Shanghai (2010) as well. This International Women’s day another piece of guerrilla-art has been added: Fearless Girl, made by Kristen Visbak. This bronze sculpture of a young girl across the bull is installed by State Street Corporation. It symbolizes the power of women in leadership and is part of a campaign that aims to emphasize the fact that companies with women in top positions have a better financial performance.
