Fearless Girl facing Charging Bull

The bronze statue "Fearless Girl" was installed on March 7, 2017 and placed facing Arturo Di Modica's Charging Bull at Bowling Green; the image of the small girl confronting the bull became a widely shared viral subject and meme. Arturo Di Modica's Charging Bull is a bronze sculpture installed near Bowling Green in 1989, and the juxtaposition generated extensive social-media discussion about gender and finance. Fearless Girl was later relocated in 2018 to face the New York Stock Exchange, a move that prompted public debate.
