Charging Bull

“Charging Bull” by Arturo Di Modica, 1987
Bowling Green
Financial District, Lower Manhattan
New York, September 2007

“On October 19, 1987, Black Monday hit U.S. financial markets and the country entered a very difficult period. Di Modica recounted that he felt indebted to the United States of America for welcoming him and enabling his success. Wanting to give something back, he conceived the Charging Bull sculpture. Di Modica spent the next two years creating the 16-foot bronze, reportedly financing the $350,000 cost himself. The sculpture was created in his Crosby Street studio and then cast using a local foundry. Once complete, Di Modica spent the next few nights watching the police patrols on Wall Street trying to find a window of opportunity. After establishing exactly where he wanted to place the bull, outside the New York Stock Exchange Building, he went home to rest. On December 15, Di Modica returned with a group of friends and Charging Bull on the back of a truck. However upon his arrival, during the day time a 40-foot Christmas tree had been installed exactly where he wanted to place the sculpture. With only four minutes between the police patrols, he announced ‘drop the bull under the tree – it's my gift.’ Di Modica stayed by the bull to greet the morning commuters as they came to discover the sculpture. However, while he was away for lunch, the New York Stock Exchange arranged for the sculpture to be collected by a local firm. The late night event went on to make news all around the world, including the front page of the New York Post. Due to the public demand for the bull's return, Parks Commissioner Henry Stern arranged for the sculpture's installation at Bowling Green on December 20, where it can be found to this day.” (Arturo Di Modica, Wikipedia)

“Castle Clinton or Fort Clinton, previously known as Castle Garden, is a circular sandstone fort located in Battery Park, in Manhattan, New York City. Built from 1808 to 1811, it was the first American immigration station (predating Ellis Island), where more than 8 million people arrived in the United States from 1855 to 1890. Over its active life, it has also functioned as a beer garden, exhibition hall, theater, and public aquarium. Castle Clinton National Monument was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 15, 1966.” (Castle Clinton, Wikipedia)

Saint Vincent Panels

‘Saint Vincent Panels’ by Nuno Gonçalves, 1450s
Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga (National Museum of Ancient Art)
Rua das Janelas Verdes
Lisbon, April 2019

“The ‘Saint Vincent Panels’, or the ‘Adoration of Saint Vincent’ panels, are a polyptych consisting of six panels that were perhaps painted in the 1450s. They are attributed to the Portuguese painter Nuno Gonçalves, who was active from 1450 to 1471. Traditionally, the polyptych is dated to the 1450s due to the putative prominence of Prince Henry the Navigator among the persons represented in the panels (Henry died in 1460). Controversy concerning the true nature of Henry's presence in the panels - if any - along with the inclusion of figures that can be identified as his brothers, all of whom died before 1450, renders it difficult to assign any secure date for the creation of the panels other than sometime during the floruit of the painter Gonçalves. The original retable, during its stay in the Cathedral of Lisbon, contained ‘over twelve’ panels, as a source from 1767 states. They were displayed in the cathedral at least until 1690 and were set aside in the cathedral until 1742. They were then transferred to the palace of Mitra, where they escaped the devastating earthquake of Lisbon in 1755. The panels are now housed in the Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga (National Museum of Antique Art), in Lisbon, Portugal.” (Saint Vincent Panels, Wikipedia)

Dům U Minuty (The House at the Minute)
Staroměstské náměstí
Staré Město (Old Town)
Prague, September 2017

“The house can be found in the neighbourhood of the Old Town Hall area. In core, it is late-Gothic from the beginning of the 15th century; it was modified in Renaissance style after 1564. At the end of the 16th century, the owners added a low third floor to the originally two-storied house, terminated by a mighty lunette cornice. In late Baroque, the position of windows was changed several times. The house is a typical example of Bohemian burgess Renaissance architecture. Before 1712, the house was owned by MatÄ›j Bartl, who ran a pharmacy here. Back then the house was called At the White Lion. From the end of the 18th century on, there was a house emblem in a form of a Classicist sculpture of a white lion. The sculpture of the lion still decorates the corner of the house today. The later name, At the Minute (U Minuty), is derived from the word minutious, i.e. very small, tiny, and it documented the fact that ‘minced’ tobacco used to be sold here.” (The House at the Minute, Prague.eu)

“The Bust of Cardinal Roberto Bellarmine is a half-length portrait of Saint Robert Bellarmine by the Italian artist Gian Lorenzo Bernini. It was executed in the years 1621–1624, and unveiled in August 1624. It sits in the Chiesa del Gesù, Rome. It was commissioned by Pope Gregory XV and Cardinal Odoardo Farnese after Bellarmine's death. A tomb (now-destroyed) surrounding the bust was designed by Girolamo Rainaldi, and included sculptural decoration by Bernini's father, Pietro, and Bernini's some-time assistant, Giuliano Finelli. ” (Bust of Cardinal Roberto Bellarmine, Wikipedia)

“Half fox” by Bordalo II, 2017

Lisbon, April 2019

“Within the confines of an abandoned warehouse in Lisbon, artist Bordalo II just opened the doors to his largest body of work to date, dozens of animalistic assemblages comprised of his trademark medium: trash. Using locally-sourced waste plastics, car parts, construction materials, and other found detritus, Bordalo has become famous for his uncanny depictions of animals—those most vulnerable to the side effects of our disposable economy. While scale often plays a large role in his outdoor wall-mounted street pieces, the artist also created considerably smaller assemblages attached to old doors, siding, and windowpanes.

“These also function as shade structures and, although static, the angle in relation to the façade was studied to go against the strongest solar exposure (south/west). This inclination also creates a dynamic effect, depending on the observer’s position: sometimes opaque, sometimes transparent. The construction system of the building is divided into two distinct parts: the underground levels are in white concrete, a heavier and more opaque solution where large spaces and patios of natural light stand out; in opposition, the raised floors (towers) stand out for their transparency, through a light metallic structure, that comes true in the façade lines (coated in GFRC – Glass Fibre Reinforced Concrete) and in the glazing. As a complement to the predominant materials (concrete and glass), the interior finishes are always metallic, in stainless steel and aluminum. In the public areas (square and lobby), due to these place’s dignity, the option went to a white stone covering.” (EDP Headquarters, Arch2o)
