The Fourth Plinth, Trafalgar Square

Trafalgar Square · public_art · Free

I've watched every commission since the beginning. The quality varies but the conversation it generates is consistently more interesting than the bronze generals next to it.

The commission that proved public art doesn't have to be decorative. Since 1998 a rotating contemporary commission has occupied the empty northwest plinth. Some have been great. All have been argued over.
