NEW YORK – May 24, 2022 – In the sculpture’s first public offering for private placement, a full-size Fearless Girl will auction under sealed bid next Tuesday and will be awarded to the highest
bidder. The three-day auction comes just before the Memorial Day holiday and is part of a second release in the Fearless Girl Superstar Drop, the iconic figure’s entrée into the crypto
community. Since the original casting was unveiled in 2017, the artwork has been reserved for public placement to spread the equality messaging behind her. The magnetic work fulfills a
symbolic role as a beacon for equality and gender collaboration.
“We as a society have been presented with a rare empowerment symbol which encourages all of us to stay the course, to pull from our deepest reserves and to assert who we are as individuals, to take our place as citizens equal is power and promise," said Kristen Visbal, creator of Fearless Girl. "Fearless Girl made her entrance at just the right time. She is your symbol. Claim her and use her for enlightenment.”
The artist, committed to placing the work publicly, states she will gladly relinquish this casting for private placement if it will provide financial fuel to her efforts to free Fearless Girl to the
advantage of society. The sealed auction presents a distinctive opportunity to acquire what has become a historic form marking a time when the need for gender collaboration and the benefits of diversity have finally been acknowledged.
