Anyone driving past the Gosschalk slaughterhouse can hardly miss the fact that a bronze Spanish bull proudly adorns the facade. Striking, because the bull is depicted at full size. The artwork was commissioned by the Gosschalk family by an Amsterdam artist.

“The bull represents what Gosschalk stands for: tough, proud, dynamic and robust. That was also the assignment I received from the family for the design: create a bull that matches the image of our company,” says the artist, who realizes that the bull has nothing to do with the cattle that are slaughtered at Gosschalk . “No, but you don’t have to. It’s about the appearance: I made a bull as it looks in its original state: proud, tough, with horns. Upright and not afraid.”
