History
The monument was constructed as a gift to Kim Il Sung.[2] It was built by the Merited Sculpture Production Company of the Mansudae Art Studio.[3] The statue was unveiled on 15 April 1961, the 49th birthday of Kim Il Sung.[1] The impetus to build the monument was Kim Il Sung's speech "Let Us Further Develop Popular Art" given to rural amateur artist groups on 7 March 1961.[4][1] The Chollima Statue was awarded the People's Prize.[5]
Features
The monument is 46 meters tall in total. The sculpture stands 14 meters high and is 16 meters long. The two figures riding the Chollima, a worker and a woman peasant, are 7 meters and 6.5 meters tall, respectively.[1] The worker raises a document from the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea and the peasant holds a sheaf of rice.[6] The figures are made of bronze, while the base is granite.[5]
