ABOUT THE COWPARADE NEW YORK
New York, NY hosted more than 500 Cow Parade cows from Summer until Fall 2000. It is interesting to notice that New Yorkers pointed out that the cows were not American! Indeed, most American cows have their horns removed at birth.
CowParade New York charity auctions were a great success and raised $ 1,351,000 benefiting several New York City charities. The average bid was $ 18,257. However, the
highest winning bid was $ 60,000, for Tiffany Cow. The charities benefiting from the proceeds included: The City Parks Foundation; God’s Love We Deliver; Hale House; City Meals-on-Wheels; New Yorkers for Children and
The Center for Arts Education
.
In the end, the CowParade auction provided an opportunity to support the work performed by these charities while enjoying a unique form of public art.
