Discussion: Wall St. Bull Sculptor Says ‘Fearless Girl’ Statue Violates His Rights

Awww, the poor little snowflake. Got away with installing his sculpture without permission, and is peeved that someone else can do the same. Poor, poor, little snowflake.

Hey you, artist! Once your piece is finished and sent off into the world, delivered to the client, you no longer control its fate. You don’t have any say in how the world perceives it. You just want to be relevant again. You won’t by bullying a little girl.

He says the bull’s message is supposed to be “freedom in the world, peace, strength, power and love.”

Well, I must admit, I don’t see a Bull, scraping the earth with its front leg, is “messaging” peace and love, but then, I am not a liberal arts major.

( I thought the bull was a nod to to the well-known Wall Street term ‘Bull Market’ (a rising market ).)

I like the girl, she is an intelligent and beatiful commentary on the Bull.

If we crowd sourced a giant heap of BS (in bronze, naturally), to be placed behind his ‘love bull’, would that make Di Modica happy ?

Di Modica said the bull’s message was supposed to be “freedom in the world, peace, strength, power and love.” Strength and power? Sure, but peace, love and freedom in the world? Please. A raging bull on Wall Street, literally, reads more like a Marxist critique of late stage capitalism and, given the artist’s petulance, a wounded patriarchy. But the real irony is that that little girl is better art.
