The Wall Street Bull symbolizes 2 hallmarks of NYC: art and business. It symolizes the aggressiveness of business and perhaps the hostility of the financial atmosphere. But it also symbolizes prosperity and progression. It inspires economic advancement. The bull, like the economy, is also unrestricted and unpredictable. It symbolizes the strength and grit of NYC. This amazingly crafted bronze sculpure is one of the most recognizable artworks of NYC. It is a major tourist attraction and a Wall Street icon.
