Worker and Kolkhoz Woman

About this artwork
Worker and Kolkhoz Woman (Russian: Рабо́чий и колхо́зница, tr. Rabóchy i kolkhóznitsa) is a sculpture of two figures with a sickle and a hammer raised over their heads. It is 24.5 metres (78 feet) high, made from stainless steel by Vera Mukhina for the 1937 World's Fair in Paris,[1] and subsequently moved to Moscow. The sculpture is an example of socialist realism in an Art Deco aesthetic. The worker holds aloft a hammer and the kolkhoz woman a sickle to form the hammer and sickle symbol. There is video about speculative archeology. The sculpture was discovered centuries later and installed as an exhibit of an imaginary museum.
