Summary:
Richard Long is one of the most compelling and original of contemporary artists. In creating art based on the activity of walking, he has pioneered new ways of thinking about the relationship between the artist and his environment. In the range of his walks and in the scope of his international exhibitions, Richard Long has become an artist of the world, transcending the milieu of the 1960s avant-garde in which he first rose to prominence. Though his individual works are simple, cumulatively they form a body of work that is rich and complex, with a universal character. As Long himself says, ‘…the different forms of my work represent freedom and richness – it’s not possible to say “everything” in one way.’ In this book, Long presents chosen works from some thirty years of his response to landscapes both near and far, and a selection of some of his recent exhibitions.

Summary:
This volume, by and about the sculptor and pioneer land artist Richard Long, explores his work from the 1990s to the present day. Long's ability to make works of physical and intellectual beauty is unrivalled, and this new journey takes the reader around the world: to the Sahara Desert, the Rio Grande, Ireland, Spain, Tierra del Fuego, Mongolia and to the forests of Honshu in Japan. If walking has become Long's trademark, the path is a central image or archetype in his work. With his walks, Richard Long weaves a line through many traditions. Majestic museum pieces made from tons of rock are juxtaposed with dramatic mud works and with photographs recording ephemeral sculptures often made in remote landscapes. Most of the photographs were taken by the artist himself. The book includes Richard Long's own notes and writings, lists of solo and group exhibitions, prizes and awards, and a selected bibliography.
