Mark & Diane Weisbeck Chosen to Re-Design Wall Street's Symbol
NEW YORK--(Business Wire)--
The new, 21st century symbol for the Bull Market has been chosen.

International award winning husband and wife sculpture team Mark and Diane
Weisbeck have recently won a Wall Street, New York commission, through
KiptonArt, to create the modern "Bull Market" image for Wall Street. A private
Wall Street collector funded the project, entitled, "The Color of Money:
Collision of Art and Finance." This is the first finance themed art commission
of its kind ever produced. 

The Weisbecks' sculpture, a "blasting off" rocket, has been chosen as the new,
21st Century symbol for the Bull Market. The old bull and bear are icons that no
one seems to remember the meanings of any more. The "Bull Market Rocket" is 13
feet tall and is constructed of textured and dyed stainless steel. "The image of
the blasting off rocket leaves the 19th century archaic bear and bull in the
dust!" states artist Mark Weisbeck. "As Wall Street emerges reborn, so too must
the icons and images of Wall Street. We are pleased to have been chosen to
design the most positive of all Wall Street terminology, the Bull Market,"
elaborates Diane Weisbeck. 

Bloomberg News Agency featured the Weisbecks "Bull Market Rocket" in an article
about this commission on May 21, 2009. National Public Radio featured a radio
broadcast about the rocket sculpture on August 10th.

The Weisbecks have won many international sculpture awards and product design
competitions. They were the only artists in the world to represent New York in
the Beijing China Olympics Sculpture Competition, winning the prestigious
"Excellent Works" award. In July, 2008 they unveiled a 32 foot tall waterfront
sculpture in Rochester, NY, USA, entitled "Water Spirits." Their sculptures and
modern product designs can be found worldwide. 

The "Bull Market Rocket"is the Weisbecks latest winning commission. A duplicate
13 foot tall rocket sculpture may be purchased through the artists for
$35,000.00. Larger rockets are also available. For information concerning
commissioning a Wall Street "Bull Market Rocket" sculpture, contact Weisbeck
Design.

The Weisbecks are currently working on contemporary sculptures with a spiritual
theme for an overseas client. They have worked together as a team since 1985.
