Walking The Line

Product Description

" Richard Long
- Walking the Line" centres mainly on the artists work from the last dozen years. Majestic museum sculptures made from tons of rock are juxtaposed with dramatic mud paintings & photographs recording ephemeral changes to the natural landscape. Many of the photographs were taken by the artist himself, & he has also included his own notes & writings. Longs ability to make works of physical & intellectual beauty is unrivalled, & this new journey takes the reader around the world: to the Sahara Desert, the Rio Grande, Irel&, Spain, Tierra del Fuego, Mongolia & to the forests of Honshu in Japan. If walking has become Longs trademark, the path is a central image or archetype in his work. The idea of the path or way has meaning in all cultures & Ocirc;& Ccedil;ô from the most material to the most spiritual. It is both real & symbolic, whether it is a life, a road, or the Taoist Great Way. With his walks, Richard Long weaves a line through many traditions, creating an art that is timeless & universal. The book

Includes:: Richard Longs own notes & writings, lists of solo & group exhibitions, prizes & awards & a select bibliography.
