Showing Original Post only (View all)Artist who placed urinating dog next to Fearless Girl statue killed by N.Y. train [View all]
The artist who placed a urinating dog statute next to the Fearless Girl statue on Wall Street was killed by a train Thursday, New York Daily News reports.
Alexander Gardega, 48, was a Manhattan-based painter. He described himself in his Instagram bio as a professional scribbler, press junkie and politically incorrect to my very artistic core.
Shortly after placing his urinating dog statue, Gardega told the New York Post that Fearless Girl was corporate nonsense and a publicity stunt.
Fearless Girl was placed opposite the Charging Bull statue.

Well, it WAS a corporate stunt. But the world has a way of turning in interesting ways sometimes.

Moreover, bull was moved from its original spot. Its artist had to accept that.

Loving fearless girl is like loving the Pillsbury Doughboy. The firm uses her in their marketing now
