Richard Long

A survey of the art of Richard Long in all its manifestations to date, this is the catalogue to the major Long exhibition at the Guggenheim Museum in September of 1986. In mysterious landmarks of stones or sticks in flat circular or linear patterns, photographic and cartographic documents of precisely planned solitary treks cross-country, and texts, Long creates an art that sometimes marks, sometimes collapses into, and sometimes brings indoors a piece of landscape. Fuchs' intelligent commentary on Long's work is accompanied by many reproductions, some never before published.
