ART FACTS
The Charging
Bull statue near Wall
Street was made by sculptor
Arturo Di Modica who paid the
product cost of US$350,000 out of
his own pocket. The statue weighs
7,000 pound (3,175 kg) statue was
placed on a New York City street in
1987 without city permits but was
eventually moved to the Financial
District, steps away
from Wall Street.
John James Audubon
painted 435 watercolors
of birds in his lifetime. Born
on the Caribbean island of Santo
Domingo in 1784, Audubon moved to
the United States in 1802, where he
fell in love with birds and made it
his life’s work to paint a picture
of every species of bird in
America.
Sandy Skoglund
Once Filled an Entire Room
with Raw Bacon
Skoglund is probably best known for her
Radioactive Cats, but she has been doing
some incredible installations for almost
40 years. They are usually brilliantly planned
and orchestrated over the course of months.
Sometimes you just need to break with tradition,
though, and create an installation in just one
day because your material is uncooked
bacon or raw ground beef and those
happen to start smelling pretty rank
in short order.
