Originally intended to hold an equestrian statue of William IV, it remained empty because of a lack of funds. For a century and half, debate over the plinth's fate raged until 1998, when it was decided to use the spot as a site of temporary commissions of contemporary art by leading artists. A marble statue of a heavily pregnant disabled artist, a scale model of Nelson's HMS Victory with African print sails inside a huge bottle and a giant cockerel in striking blue are just some of the controversial and political art works that have added a modern and provocative element to the famous square. This book tells the story of the ongoing Fourth Plinth program from its inception to the very latest commission. Individual chapters present the background and genesis of each work, with behind-the-scenes views of the fabrication, contributions from some of the many individuals involved in the projects, including the artists, and in situ shots of all the installed works. And just as every commission reflects varied aspects of London's past and present as a global capital, the book, too, celebrates the impact of contemporary art on the vibrant, creative and multi-cultured city that it is today--one that has created the smallest but the most-talked-about sculpture park in the world.0. 610 20 $a Fourth Plinth Project. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2006089745 650 0 $a Sculpture, Modern $y 21st century. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2002004918 650 0 $a Site-specific installations (Art) $z London. $z London. 651 0 $a Fourth Plinth (Trafalgar Square, London, England) $v Pictorial works. 650 0 $a Outdoor sculpture $z London. $z London. 650 7 $a Sculpture. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01109483 651 7 $a England $z London. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204271 650 7 $a Plastik. $2 gnd 650 7 $a OÌffentlicher Raum. $2 gnd 651 7 $a London. $2 gnd 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231019015546.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E76B1254071E11E88A431B0A97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
