lmao the bull obviously represents capital and has for like a hundred years. It’s insanely ubiquitous. The girl statue recontextualizes this iconic figure of capitalism as an out-of-control animal.

Thinking that statute girl is effective propaganda at the mass level for whatever firm put it up just because they own it is like.. extreme capitalist mindset. Obviously the girl is intended as essentially a commercial for some dogshit investment firm. Who cares? That’s not what it means to anyone who is looking at it. You have to go read a plaque or some poo poo to find that out. The bull probably has an equally retarded “real meaning” about prosperity or something.

Yeah, there are probably a handful of Ivy-league fish people who think it reflects well on the firm. The VAST majority of people have no idea who bought it or think it’s ironic that a major capitalist firm would produce such an obviously anti-capitalist piece. I certainly have no idea which firm it was, and I would be shocked if anyone here new of the top of their head.

This. And any Wall Streeters who interpret defiance in it can just reassure themselves that the little girl is going to get absolutely pasted by the bull.

I'm all for welding a cattle bolt gun into the hand of the little girl.

In all seriousness, the girl statue is rendered in the image of labor and revolutionary statuary present aplenty outside the US. I can see Kingfish's point.
