Fourth Plinth Gift Horse sculpture in Trafalgar Square

The sculpture known as Gift Horse, by German artist Hans Haacke on the public space called the Fourth Plinth in London's Trafalgar Square. Looking up towards late-afternoon blue skies we seen the Spire of St, Martin-in-the-Fields church and other buildings bordering this famous london landmark, as well as the lit street lamp. London mayor Boris Johnson financed the 10th artwork to appear here. The skeletal, riderless horse (derived from The Anatomy of a Horse - George Stubbs, 1766) with a London Stock Exchange tickertape is a comment on power, money and history.
