About

This unusual bronze sculpture of a bull sitting on a wooden bench in an anthropomorphic pose was commissioned as a unique art piece to reside outside the Goodwin Steak House in Tallinn.

The unique creation was sculptured in 2011 by Tauno Kango. In 2013, he produced a bronze sculpture of the same bull in a different pose now outside the Goodwin Steak House in Helsinki.

The site of the Black Angus in Tallinn is located at one of the most popular points of entry to the old town, at Viru Gate, and it has become one of the most photographed sculptures in Tallinn.
