OLEK AND THE CHARGING BULL ON WALL STREET from olek on Vimeo.
I love this clip in which artist, Olek, knits a huge one-z for the wallstreet bull (located just blocks from my apartment) right before Christmas. In her words:
I started it with a bike and ended up with the Charging Bull as a Christmas gift to NYC and a tribute to the sculptor of the bull, Arturo di Modica, who in another guerrilla act, placed the bull on Wall Street in Christmas of 1987 as a symbol of the "strength and power of the American people" following the 1987 Stock Market crash.Unfortunately the knitted gift was taken down almost immediately, but in light of the upcoming snowstorm (part deux) headed our way, I sort of wish he still had his bull-snuggie to see him through it.
