horse skeleton trafalgar square DSC_3048

This is a sculpture in Trafalgar Square, London. From Wiki ;- “Depicts a skeletal, riderless horse. The sculptor Hans Haacke says the sculpture is a tribute to economist Adam Smith and English painter George Stubbs. The horse is based on an engraving by Stubbs taken from ‘The Anatomy of the Horse’ published in 1766. Tied to the horse’s front leg is an electronic ribbon displaying live the ticker of the London Stock Exchange, completing the link between power, money and history. The sculpture was unveiled on 5 March 2015.”
