Has anything permanent been put on the 'empty plinth' in Trafalgar Sq yet?
When I was there 3 weeks ago, it still had that nude sculpture of the thalidamide artist Alison Lapper (
here).
It isn't supposed to be permanent...
The work - entitled Alison Lapper Pregnant, by Marc Quinn - has been selected to fill the empty fourth plinth in Trafalgar Square for 18 months, the latest in a rota of sculptures for the plinth.
...but then the great British public would probably prefer it to "another statue of a soldier"...
