Downtown business groups have taken responsibility for maintaining the iconic Charging Bull statue in New York’s financial district, though they acknowledge no official ownership agreement exists. A spokesperson confirmed efforts to keep the artwork clean without legal authority, highlighting an informal but ongoing role in its upkeep. The lack of a formal arrangement raises questions about long-term maintenance and accountability for one of the city’s most recognizable public artworks. The statement underscores a practical approach amid legal ambiguity.
A spokesperson for the Downtown Alliance told The Post that while they do not know who technically owns the Charging Bull, they "clean it the best we can," without a formal agreement in place.
