The artists Tschabalala Self and Andra Ursuța have won the next commissions for the Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square, London, one of the UK’s most important platforms for contemporary art.
Self’s work will be unveiled in 2026; Ursuța’s sculpture will stand on the plinth two years later. The other artists in the running for the Fourth Plinth commissions were Chila Burman, Gabriel Chaile, Ruth Ewan, Veronica Ryan and Thomas J. Price.
The Fourth Plinth Commissioning Group, chaired by Ekow Eshun, with panellists including the artist Jeremy Deller, selected the winning works. A public consultation also informed the group’s decision.
