I am a fan of the Fourth Plinth (in Trafalgar Square) although infrequent visits to the capital mean that I have not seen all of its occupants in the Mayor of London's Fourth Plinth Programme. This is the 12th. Michael Rakowitz's project, 'The Invisible Enemy Should Not Exist' , to recreate the 7000 archaelogical artefacts looted or destroyed in Iraq during the war, started in 2006. The Lamassu was a winged deity which guarded Nergal Gate at Ninevah, near the present day Mosul, from c700BC until its destruction in 2015. In a searing social comment, the Lamassu on the Fourth Plinth is made from Iraqi date syrup cans. The industry was much reduced by the Iraq wars. 200_3_P1050241E

Hahn/Cock , 2013 by Katharina Fritsch is the latest work to occupy the fourth plinth (in Trafalgar Square). The figure is in glass fibre reinforced polyester resin with a stainless steel supporting structure. It is difficult to arrive at the scene of something which has been in place for a few days, which has attracted a lot of attention and still be original beyond the satisfaction of having ones own photograph. All the jokes have been done. There is a range of compositional possibilities. I tried several and have chosen this wide view to put the work in context and include the perennially attractive St Martins in the Fields. X20_DSCF1744
