Fearless Girl (Kristen Visbal) - initial installation

Fearless Girl is a bronze sculpture by Kristen Visbal commissioned by State Street Global Advisors and installed on March 7, 2017 at Bowling Green facing the Charging Bull. The 50-inch statue was created as part of a campaign highlighting gender diversity on corporate boards and quickly became a widely photographed public artwork. Its placement sparked public debate and legal discussion about public space, corporate-sponsored art, and artistic context.
