Staten Island: I am a collector of Arturo Di Modica’s beautiful work and a family friend of many years. The message he’s trying to convey is far more compelling than the media suggests, and I believe it needs to be articulated.

Let’s be clear: In this day and age, we all believe in equality and women’s rights. We can all chastise not only Wall Street but mainstream corporate America for the underrepresentation of female stakeholders and board members. The message of “Fearless Girl” — financial firms need stronger female representation — is well taken.
