"The monument's composition is five horses, one stallion and four mares, running through the rubble of the collapsed Berlin Wall. One casting was placed in a reunited and free Berlin on July 2, 1998. Delivered by the U. S. Air Force on the 50th anniversary of the Berlin Airlift, installed by the German Army, and unveiled by former U. S. President George Bush. The sculpture is a gift of friendship from the American people to the people of Germany. ... 'The Day the Wall Came Down' is not about horses. It is about freedom. Throughout the centuries, horses have been used by artists to represent freedom. In this monument, the horses symbolize the personal drive for freedom that is shared by people of all nations. The Berlin Wall was a visual reminder of the oppression that still exists in many parts of the world. This sculptural wall also represents all walls or obstacles to personal freedom, both past and present. The collapse of the Berlin Wall on November 9, 1989 was a moment of joy shared around the world, captured by the artist in this sculpture."
