About the artist:
Richard Long CBE, RA b.1945 Bristol.
Richard Long is an English sculptor and one of the best-known British land artists.
Long is the only artist to have been short-listed four times for the Turner Prize. He was nominated in 1984, 1987 and 1988, and then won the award in 1989 for White Water Line. He lives and works in Bristol, the city in which he was born.
Long's work has broadened the idea of sculpture to be a part of performance art and conceptual art. His work typically is made of earth, rock, mud, stone and other nature based materials. In exhibitions his work is typically displayed with the materials or through documentary photographs of his performances and experiences.
Public collections include: Arts Council, London; Tate, London; Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Denmark; Centre Pompidou, Paris; Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam; Museum of Contemporary Art, Helsinki; Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo; The Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago; National Gallery of Art, Washington; Museum of Modern Art, New York and the National Gallery of Canada amongst many others.
