RICHARD LONG (b.1945): Born in Bristol, England in 1945, Long studied at Saint Martin`s School of Art, London during 1966-68 and is a former Turner Prize winning artist who made his international reputation during the 1970s with sculptures made as the result of long walks. These walks would often last many days, to remote parts of the world. Guided by a respect for nature and the formal structure of basic lines and shapes, with some sculptures evoking connotations with ancient stone circles or monuments. Long used different modes of presentation, sometimes combined, to bring the artist`s experience of nature back to the museum or gallery. For some works he used maps, words and photographs to present places, routes, things seen, thoughts evoked and actions performed. Others were three dimensional, assembled from natural elements such as twigs, driftwood or stones. Long stressed that the meaning of his work lay in the visibility of his actions rather than the representation of a particular landscape. Compton was the curator when the artist represented Great Britain at the Venice Biennale in 1976. Long was the recipient of the Turner Prize awarded at the Tate Gallery in London in 1989. In 2009 Tate Britain organised their major exhibition, Richard Long Heaven and Earth. 6 x 24in.
