Richard Long was born June 2, 1945, in Bristol, England. He studied at West of England College of Art, Bristol, between 1962 and 1965. By 1964, Long was already making Earthworks and experimenting with the idea of impermanence, a theme that would inform his work throughout his career. Long's use of walking as an art form was introduced as early as 1967. From 1966 to 1968, he studied at the St. Martin's School of Art, London, under Anthony Caro and Phillip King. While there, he became closely associated with fellow student Hamish Fulton.


To create his art, Richard Long walks hundreds of miles for days, even weeks at a time, through uncultivated areas of land: the countryside of England, Ireland, and Scotland; the mountains of Nepal and Japan; the plains of Africa, Mexico, and Bolivia...

He documents these journeys with captioned large-scale photographs, maps, and lists of descriptive terms, which are exhibited as individual works.

His photographs remain the only evidence of these organic sculptures after erosion has run its course.

Unlike other artists who have manipulated the landscape to create Earthworks, such as Walter De Maria, Michael Heizer, Robert Morris, Dennis Oppenheim, Robert Smithson, and James Turrell, Long does not significantly alter the terrain by digging, burrowing, sculpting, or constructing. He simply adjusts nature's placement of rocks and wood to subtly demarcate geometric shapes.
