Charging Bull By Arturo Di Modica
Charging Bull, often referred to as the “Wall Street Bull,” is a 7,100-pound bronze sculpture by Arturo Di Modica. Originally a work of guerrilla art, the sculpture was created as a symbol of the “strength and power of the American people” following the 1987 stock market crash.
Italian sculptor Arturo Di Modica was born in Sicily in 1941. He is a contemporary artist who operated outside the confines of the traditional art world for most of his career. English sculptor Henry Moore nicknamed him the “young Michelangelo.” Di Modica died in 2021.
In addition to its iconic location in New York, Charging Bull can also be found at Isleworth Golf & Country Club in Windermere, Fla., Albany, The Bahamas in Nassau, and here in Lake Nona.
