plinth_main.jpgWhich will be the next work of art to grace the famous Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square? Take a look at the shortlisted artists' work at the National Gallery - and leave comments on what you think should fill the space.

The exhibition will display models by the six shortlisted artists: Jeremy Deller, Tracey Emin, Antony Gormley, Anish Kapoor, Yinka Shonibare MBE, and Bob & Roberta Smith.

Part of a rolling programme of commissions to add a new sculptures to the Fourth Plinth, the work selected this time will replace the recently unveiled 'Model for a Hotel' by Thomas Schütte (pictured) - a specially engineered, colourful glass sculpture of a 21-storey building which in turn replaced Marc Quinn's popular work 'Alison Lapper Pregnant'.
