Lady in Blue Arrives on the Fourth Plinth | The Arbuturian (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Trafalgar Square’s rotating art experiment welcomes its sixteenth commission this month, as Tschabalala Self’s technicolour “everywoman” takes over from Teresa Margolles. Rosalind Ormiston looks back at the plinth’s history — and ahead to a packed month of London sculpture… Since 1999, when the English artist Mark Wallinger’s sculpture Ecce Homo — cast from a living body to depict a near-naked Christ with hands tied behind his back — was placed on the empty plinth in Trafalgar Square, London, sc

In the Embankment Galleries at Somerset House, London, a fantastic exploration

Read excerpt
Rosalind Ormiston finds a jaw-dropping spectacular at the Hayward Gallery, as Anish Kapoor returns home in blood-red triumph for Ralph Rugoff’s swansong show… In spring this year, the American curator Ralph Rugoff stepped down after twenty years as director of the Hayward Gallery on London’s Southbank — he will be a hard act to follow.
