Biography:
Avant-garde artist, Richard Long’s work in Land and Conceptual Art is rooted in his appreciation for nature and the time he spends immersed in it while hiking. He initially began this process of inspiration solely in England, but since has spent much time studying landscapes abroad. He occasionally incorporates leaves, twigs, stones or other natural materials into his exhibitions. In 1976, Long represented Great Britain at the Venice Biennale. He also won the Turner Prize in 1989.
