Richard Long

Published in conjunction with the 1990 exhibition at the Neues Museum Weserburg Bremen, this monograph serves as a comprehensive survey of Richard Long's practice during his formative and mid-career years. Long, a foundational figure in the British Land Art movement, is known for his ephemeral interventions in the landscape, often captured through stark, documentary-style photography. The book reflects the artist's minimalist philosophy, documenting the intersection of human movement and the natural environment.

The publication was designed to mirror the spare, meditative quality of Long's work, favoring wide-format imagery and minimal text to allow the landscapes to communicate their own geological and temporal histories. In the context of 1970s and 80s conceptual art, the book was received as an essential primary document, bridging the gap between the physical reality of the site-specific walks and the archival nature of the gallery space. It remains a key reference for understanding his commitment to walking as a medium for sculptural expression.
