Charging Bull

This guide to the Charging Bull in New York traces a December morning in 1989, when pedestrians on Broad Street found a bronze bull outside the Stock Exchange with no permit and no warning. It follows sculptor Arturo Di Modica's response to the 1987 market crash, the two years he spent casting the piece in secret, and the overnight installation he treated as a gift to the city. Stand at Bowling Green to see it at the spot New Yorkers eventually claimed as its home.
