Editorial Reviews
Book Description
"My art is about making Journeys, mostly to experience different landscapes by walking through them. On this walk, across the country I was born in, I also carried a different stone along in my pocket each day, a traveling sculpture called Walking Stones."--Richard Long. Richard Long belongs to a generation of artists who from the mid-sixties helped to redefine the boundaries of art practice. By making his work simply by walking in the landscape, he brought a great increase in scale and space, as well as rich conceptual potential, to a work of art. He also found the freedom to make sculptures along the way in the different land surfaces that cover the planet.
About the Author
Richard Long has made works in the landscapes of all the continents except Antarctica, and since 1968 he has exhibited his work in galleries and museums around the world, from Reykjavik to Kyoto.
