A skeleton of a riderless horse with a London Stock Exchange ticker fixed to its leg has been unveiled on the Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square. Gift Horse, the work of 78-year-old German artist Hans Haacke, is a "contemporary comment on history, power and money". The horse is a reference both to an etching by George Stubbs, whose famous Whistlejacket painting that hangs in Trafalgar Square's National Gallery, and to an equestrian statue of William IV originally destined for the plinth in the 19th century but never installed due to lack of funds.
