The Fourth Plinth is the northwest plinth in Trafalgar Square in central London. It was originally intended to hold an equestrian statue of William IV, but remained bare due to insufficient funds. For over 150 years the fate of the plinth was debated and in 1998 a public enquiry sought opinions from public art commissioners, critics and members of the public as to the future of the plinth. The final report recommended that the commissions remain a rolling programme of temporary artworks rather than settling permanently on one figure or idea to commemorate. In 2003, the ownership of Trafalgar Square was transferred from Westminster City Council to the Mayor of London and this marked the beginning of the Mayor of London’s Fourth Plinth Commission as it is now known.

Lady in Blue by Tschabalala Self 

Unveiled on 10 September 2026, Lady in Blue pays homage to a young, metropolitan woman – a quotidian figure – reflecting many of today's Londoners.  The work was inspired by a desire to bring a contemporary 'everywoman' to Trafalgar Square. Made of bronze, her dress painted a vibrant blue, the figure's accessories replicate lapis lazuli. This rare and prized rock has been used as a pigment since ancient times.

Lady in Blue is a woman that many can relate to. She is not an idol to revere or a historic figurehead to commemorate. She is a woman striding forward into our collective future with ambition and purpose. She is a Londoner, who represents the city’s spirit.
