Public Art: The Bull on Wall Street

The bull on Wall Street is a sculpture that I feel really demonstrates the characteristics of New York City. The city is all about business and economic growth, and that is something that the bull has heavily come to symbolize in economics. I find the features of the sculpture very interesting. The way the bull is standing shows is aggressive nature, something that most new Yorkers in the city also have (in class we called this characteristic “attitude.”) The goldish color of the bull reminds me of wealth and money, which the city has always thrived on. This work of art is a good representative of what the city is all about.
