See all the Fourth Plinth commissions at the @ICALondon
Over the last 13 years, the Fourth Plinth project has become an impressive addition to London’s public art scene. Since Mark Wallinger’s life-size figure of Christ took to the plinth in 1999, it has seen eight monumental sculptures (and 2,400 people thanks to Antony Gormley) preside over Trafalgar Square by artists including Tracey Emin, Anish Kapoor, Yinka Shonibare and Marc Quinn. You might be able to bring a few of these to mind if you think hard enough, but instead of wasting the brain power, how about heading down to the ICA from today until January 20 to see the full set of all 21 maquettes of both the proposed and successful pieces. Quietly illuminated in the atmospherically lit theatre, each idea sparkles like a gem. Well worth popping in.
