FEARLESS LITTLE GIRL AT WALL STREET.
(Mobile photos..Autar Mota)
This confident little girl, done in bronze, faces the charging bronze bull at wall street. We were told that the present Mayor of NYC has ordered relocation of the bull and the girl. May be at separate locations to nearby stock Market. The purpose is to decongest Traffic .Both these sculptures located on the Broadway Traffic Median are proving a hazard to pedestrians and vehicular traffic .The girl may be relocated first and the charging bull may follow.
This 4 feet tall girl ( weighing around 110 kgs ) looks impressive and fearless as she faces the bull. She appears to be saying:
" I am not afraid of you . I can catch you by the horn."
Tourist are impressed by her style and fearlessness. People try to copy her style while standing close to her for a photograph.
Wall street is clse to American Indian Museum. It is also close
to Bowling green fence that was full of red tulips last week when we were there . A central fountain adds grace to this Bowling fence.
This little pony tailed and fearless looking girl, representing female Business prowess( sculpted by kristen visbal) was installed in March 2017. It was installed to encourage corporate world to put more women on their Board. It was to be displayed for a few weeks only . But its popularity broke all records and citizens sent petitions to Mayor to keep it. So it continues to be there. The girl looks daring with her hands on her hip and chin pointed up.
And i would say that the girl loudly proclaims that Human mental force is always bigger than animal force.
The Bronze charging bull was installed in 1989 after the 1987 stock market crash. It had become a symbol of american financial resilience post 1987 crash. The 11 feet tall bronze bull, weighing 7100 pounds ,was sculpted by Italian sculptor Arturo Di Modica.
