“Smash the Bull, Distribute the Candy”
From Kenneth Tin-Kin Hung:
“Smash the Bull, Distribute the Candy”
An email exchange with Creative Time’s Nato Thompson, regarding the Occupy Wall Street movement resulted in this image. Please feel free to download, distribute and remix the image in any form you like.
Here is a brief description of the piece:
“The Charging Bull sculpture” by Arturo Di Modica is suspended in the air by iron chains. The chains are held by the work, “Integrity Protecting the Works of Man”, a high-relief sculpture placed atop the front of the NYSE building by John Quincy Adams Ward with the collaboration of Paul Wayland Bartlett, and carved by the Piccirilli Brothers.
Lady Liberty is dressed as a commoner and swinging a “Tax the Rich” baseball bat, smashing the Charging Bull in order to redistribute the cash it has been holding. Meanwhile, Occupy Wall Street protesters are watching the action while Black Spiderman, donning a 1% labeled top hat, is observing the revolution.
Several sizes of the poster are available for download:
* Original: 18 in x 24 in (with 1/8″ bleed), 300 dpi (18mb)
