本書において、図版は年代順には並んでおらず、テキストも独自のルートをたどるため、画像と言葉は、出発点と目的が異なる同じ道を歩む2人の歩行者のようになっています。本書は大きく二つのセクションに分かれており、最初のセクションには、彼のこれまでの業績の主要な部分を占める作品例が、2番目のセクションには、1986年に主要な前著が出版されて以降の作品の包括的な記録が提示されています。コンセプトとレイアウトは、リチャード・ロング自身による。 *Standard condition for its age, plates fine.
This is a collection of works by the British artist Richard Long. It was published in parallel with a major exhibition at the Hayward Gallery, London, in 1991. Richard Long's art takes the form of walks, sculptures and mud works. His walks through the landscapes of the world, whether the Sahara Desert, Dartmoor, Japan or Bolivia, are recorded either by photographs of sculptures made along the way from materials immediately to hand, or by maps and text works, which evoke experiences of time, places and ideas. His sculptures in galleries are made by arranging natural materials, mostly stone or wood; and his mud works are made on walls or floors, with watery solutions of river mud and clay.
Richard Long provided the conception and layout for this book. The plates are not ordered chronologically, and the text follows its own route, so that images and words are like two walkers on the same road with different starting points and purposes. The book is divided into two main sections: the first contains examples of the main body of his past achievement; the second presents a comprehensive record of work since the publication of his last major book in 1986.
