Richard Long

Richard Long is a British artist celebrated for his pioneering contributions to land art. Using natural elements like stone, mud, and driftwood, Long creates works that reflect his physical engagement with the landscape. His walks often become the basis for ephemeral installations and photographic documentation, as seen in works like A Line Made by Walking. Long has exhibited extensively, including major retrospectives at the Tate Britain and the Guggenheim Museum in New York. He was awarded the Turner Prize in 1989 and a CBE in 2013 for his services to art. Long’s works remain a profound exploration of humanity’s connection to nature.
