It is then restored to its former home facing onto the skyscraper's lobby and atop the summit of the escalators moving up and down and into and out of Grand Central Terminal.[12]
  • September 7 – A Dallas, Texas man, Tevon Varlack, strikes the Wall Street Bull by Arturo Di Modica with a banjo leaving a sizable dent in the horn area of the work.[13] During the following month, Di Modica and a team of metal workers from an upstate New York foundry arrive at the site and fix the wound to the artwork.[14]
