I love this new work on the fourth plinth in Trafalgar Square.<\/p>\n

The Guardian<\/a> tells the story behind this remarkable sculpture:<\/p>\n

Michael Rakowitz\u2019s new work for the\u00a0fourth plinth in Trafalgar Square<\/a>\u00a0shimmers, even in the rain and under a leaden sky.<\/p>\n

A life-sized copy of the winged god that stood at the Nergal Gate of Nineveh from 700 BC until its destruction by Islamic State in 2015,\u00a0Rakowitz\u2019s replica in London<\/a>\u00a0recalls what has been lost and makes it new. Its scale perfectly matches the proportions of the empty fourth plinth.<\/p>\n

Riveted together from 10,500 empty Iraqi date-syrup cans, the relief sculpture has a disconcerting exactitude, with its polychrome wing on one side, the sheer gold wall and cuneiform inscription on the other, the god\u2019s implacable face, its ruinous majesty.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
