Powerless Structures, Fig. 101

The fourth plinth in central London's Trafalgar Square has been used for a series of temporary works commissioned from international artists since 1999.  While the other three plinths in the square are each carrying a permanent sculpture, the fourth plinth was left empty for over 150 years.  It was originally intended to support an equestrian statue of King William IV.  With this reference in mind, Elmgreen & Dragset erected the statue Powerless Structures, Fig. 101 as the latest commissioned project on this legendary plinth.
