Mayor announces Fourth Plinth 2012/13 Winners

In early 2010 six internationally acclaimed artists were shortlisted for the Fourth Plinth Commission. The artists were invited by the Fourth Plinth Commissioning Group to make maquettes for the public consultation phase of the commissioning process.
During the exhibition of the maquettes at St Martin-in-the-Fields, just off Trafalgar Square in central London over 17,000 members of the public commented on which artworks should be chosen for the 2012 and 2013 commissions.
At 10am on Friday 14 January 2011, Mayor of London Boris Johnson announced that Powerless Structures, Fig. 101 by Elmgreen & Dragset has been successfully commissioned for 2012 and Hahn / Cock by Katharina Fritsch has been commissioned for 2013
