During the middle of the night on the 15th December 1989, Sicilian born Arturo Di Modica arrived on Wall Street with his Charging Bull on the back of a truck. He proceeded to drop the 16ft bronze sculpture outside of the New York Stock Exchange, with no prior permission from the authorities. Charging Bull went on to become a global icon but despite this Di Modica continued to work as he always had, without representation and alone from his studio. That is until 2012 when Geist Director, Jacob Harmer, went to meet him in Sicily for the first time and he finally agreed to official representation. We went on to work with him, building a global market for his work, until his death in 2021. It remains Geist's core mission to document the life of Arturo Di Modica and share his incredible spirit and story, which will continue to inspire 100-years from now.
