A fearless girl statue will be moving to a location in front of the New York Stock Exchange, watching the famous charging cattle in Manhattan's financial district for over a year.
This statue was established near Wall Street to celebrate the International Women's Day in 2017 and was only temporarily approved. But now it will stay in a new place forever in New York
According to the Mayor of New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and State Street Global Advisors (a financial services company entrusted with statues), this move will be completed by the end of 2018.
"We are proud to be the home of a fearless girl, she is a powerful symbol of the highest level of change in American business - she is a permanent part of our urban citizenship "De Brasio said in a statement.
The statue of Kristen Visbal was originally intended to attract more attention to the needs of women representatives at the board of directors of public trading companies. However, as a result of investigating women who were short of their salary and executives of blacks, State Street, which set up statues, published headlines in late 2017.
State Street paid five million dollars to reach a settlement with the Department of Labor and stated the "opposite" findings
This is not the only controversy experienced by Fearless Girl. (And we are not simply talking about that simple dog image, as it urinates girls.)
As reported by NPR Ross Friedman, some critics oppose the idea of portraying American women as young girls - I think they are patronizing, not advancing
The sculptor prosecuting bulls was insulted by the addition of a new statue and said that the meaning of the original was changed - made the bulls an ominous villain instead of a symbol of power. He also called the statue "advertising trick."
In the late 1980s, Arturo Di Modica set up his chargeable bull sculpture in the financial district and put a large sculpture overnight without permission.
Bulls is in Bowling Green Park, Broadway. There, a fearless girl faces him.
But this is not the first step of the Bulls. It was first placed on Broad Street in front of the New York Stock Exchange. And it quickly dismantled the statue.
In early March, the "Fearless Girl" statue was placed at Bowling Green near the New York Stock Exchange, staring at the famous Wall Street Charging Bull. This is the equipment used until the end of April. Although he was only 4 feet tall, the girl stared stubbornly at the 7,000 pound Charging Bull, a symbol of America's strength and prosperity. From the beginning, contrastive but powerful images of these two structures attracted everyone's imagination. The media discusses statues, people are posting pictures to social media and young girls are proud to imitate a fearless posture.
Is not this enough? maybe. Wall Street has been speaking equally ambiguous stories recently with statues of a fearless girl. This statue was bronze medal by Kristen Bisbal and was established as a promotional campaign for financial women at International Women's Day by State Street Global Advisers in February. Since then it was a huge success: tourists flocked to the pictures with this energetic girl, and the article estimated that it gathered more than $ 7 million for the company's social media and advertising. Many viewers view her as a small symbol of women's empowerment, but other viewers disregard the young girl's feminist tendency. Yes, she is standing with the wildlife, but she is still a child. This is a type of hedgebet occurring in Wonder Woman. Obviously, as long as they only do this in art, we will love the girls and princess who claim to be self-declared.
One of them, probably controversial artwork since I first appeared, one of them is a girl who is not afraid to fight by reducing bulls. From my photo, I think that a fearless girl can become fearless for the first time in the face of a strong symbol like a bull bull. My advice is to move a fearless girl in front of the stock exchange. "Fearless Girl" not only opposed "Charging Bull" but also tributes to the story behind "Charging Bull". The stock exchange was originally the first place to build a bull overnight. It is like two people who transform points and represent Ying and Yang on Wall Street.
