Richard Long

Richard Long (born June 2, 1945, Bristol, England) is a British sculptor known for his Land Art. Long uses natural materials, such as stone, mud, and wood, to create minimal and site-specific installations. He is a pioneer of the Land Art movement, focusing on the relationship between art and nature. He often creates long lines or circles, highlighting the passage of time and the cyclical nature of life. His works are known for their simplicity and their connection to the environment. He often documents his work through photography, which serves as a record of the ephemeral nature of his installations. His works have been exhibited internationally and are included in the collections of major museums, including the Tate Gallery, London.
