  • The 12th Fourth Plinth sculpture named 'The Invisible Enemy Should Not Exist' by artist Michael Rakowitz, in Trafalgar Square, on 5th April 2018 in London, United Kingdom. The artwork attempts to recreate more than 7,000 objects which have been lost forever. Some were looted from the Iraq Museum in 2003, while others were destroyed at archaeological sites across the country during the Iraq War. Rakowitz has recreated the Lamassu. This winged bull and protective deity guarded the entrance to Nergal Gate of Nineveh from 700 BC until it was destroyed by Daesh in 2015. The Fourth Plinth is an empty plinth in Trafalgar Square in central London originally intended to hold an equestrian statue. For over 150 years there was much squabbling about what to do with the fourth plinth, but very little agreement, until the temporary use of the plinth to display three pieces of art in the last years of the 20th century lead to a commission being formed to decide on a use for it. Eventually that commission unanimously decided to use it for the temporary display of artworks.

  • A 4.1m high bronze sculpture of a boy on a rocking horse has been unveiled on the Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square, London, England, UK. Artists Michael Elmgreen and Ingar Dragset say "Powerless Structures, Fig 101 (the title of the piece) questions "monuments predicated on military victory or defeat". They said it was "up to the public to love it or hate it" but "hopefully not ignore it". Funded by the Mayor of London and Arts Council England, the sculpture will remain in place for a year. The artists said, in a statement, that "the image of a young boy astride his rocking horse encourages viewers to consider the less spectacular events in their lives which are often the most important".

  • With a confusing perspective and scale, a spectator photographs artist Yinka Shonibare's artwork called Nelson's Ship in a Bottle on the Fourth Plinth in London's in Trafalgar Square. The artwork features a 1:29 scale replica of Lord Nelson's original HMS Victory commemorating the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805, Shonibare said his version with its textile sails with African and batik prints reflects the multicultural and diverse capital. The 2.35m high ship inside a specially-made glass bottle, will be in place for 18 months. 37 large sails are made of patterns which are commonly associated with African dress and culture. The patterns also look back at the path of colonialism as the patterns were inspired by Indonesian batik design, which were mass produced by the Dutch and sold to the colonies in West Africa. The Fourth Plinth is in the north-west of the Square.

  • German contemporary artist Katharina Fritsch's sculpture 'Hahn/Cock'. A blue cockerel, on The Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square, London. The Fourth Plinth was originally intended to hold a statue of William IV, but remained bare due to insufficient funds. For over 150 years the fate of the plinth was debated; in 1999, a sequence of three contemporary artworks to be displayed on the plinth were announced. The success of this initiative led to a commission being formed to decide on a use for the plinth.
