New York – Creator of the Wall Street Bull has died

The creator of the famous Wall Street bull in New York, Arturo Di Modica, is dead.

According to agency reports, the artist died at the age of 80 in the Italian province of Ragusa in Sicily. His most famous work is the Wall Street Bull or Charging Bull in Manhattan’s financial district near the New York Stock Exchange. The bronze sculpture shows a grim bull and is popular with many tourists. In a night and fog action, Di Modica and 40 others illegally erected the sculpture, which weighed tons, on the stock exchange in December 1989. The stock exchange managers had it removed, and today it is a sculpture on Park Bowling Green.
