华尔街铜牛被砸，维修可不便宜

华尔街附近标志性的铜牛雕塑被损坏，维修的费用预计高达15000美元，周末时有人用一把金属制的班卓琴砸了这头铜牛。

绿地保龄协会的官员，可以在办公室俯瞰这头铜牛，他们说预计修复工作将从月底前开始，在等这一雕塑的设计师阿图罗·迪·莫迪卡从西西里岛回来。

这次奇怪的攻击行为，导致了公牛右角出现了8英寸长的裂缝，另有一些擦伤。波利奇·塔里克斯艺术工作室将负责此次维修，他们的客户之一就是迪·莫迪卡。

到今年年末，这头公牛雕塑也有30个年头了，当地本来还有庆祝的计划，预计修复工作会在庆祝活动之前完成。

迪·莫迪卡一直很爱护他的出名作品。2017年当“无畏女孩”雕塑落座在凝视公牛的位置，迪·莫迪卡声称要起诉，并说这一所谓的出名作品只是宣传噱头。

警方于周末以故意破坏罪逮捕了一名得克萨斯州人，指控他毁坏财物、妨害治安及非法持有武器。（财富中文网）

The repair bill for the iconic Charging Bull statue near Wall Street is estimated to run as high as $15,000 after a man attacked the statue over the weekend with a metal banjo.

Officials at the Bowling Green Association, which oversees the bull, say work is repair expected to begin before the end of the month, once the sculpture’s artist Arturo Di Modica, returns from Sicily.

The odd assault resulted in an 8-inch gash in the bull’s right horn along with several scratches. Polich Tallix, a fine art foundry that counts Di Modica as a client, will oversee the repairs.

The bull turns 30 later this year and there are local plans for a celebration. Repairs are expected to be completed well before that event.

Di Modica has long been protective of his most famous work. In 2017, he threatened to sue after the placement of the “Fearless Girl” statue staring down the bull, calling the popular other piece of art a PR stunt.

Police arrested a Texas man over the weekend for the vandalism, charging him with criminal mischief, disorderly conduct and criminal possession of a weapon.
