The new commission for The Fourth Plinth, Powerless Structures, Fig.101 by artist duo Elmgreen and Dragset, has been unveiled in London. The 4.1m high statue is a twist on the traditional equestrian portrait, the artists say, because instead of growing up celebrating military victory and commemorating fame, it acknowledges the “heroism of growing up.”
