Richard Long, THIS TOO WILL PASS, 2021

Richard Long has generously created THIS TOO WILL PASS, 2021, a limited edition silkscreen print in support of Tate.

Richard Long's art is grounded in his direct engagement with the landscape. Born in Bristol in 1945 he first came to prominence in the late 1960s and is part of an international generation of artists who extended the possibilities of sculpture beyond traditional materials and methods.

Long's work is rooted in his love of nature and the experience of making solitary walks. Many of these take him through rural and remote areas in the South West of Britain where Long grew up and still lives today. Some walks follow a particular idea, such as walking a straight line for a predetermined distance, or picking up, carrying, and placing stones at certain intervals along the way. Thus walking, as art, provides a simple way to explore relationships between time, distance, geography and measurement.

Long has exhibited widely since his first solo show at the Konrad FIscher Gallery in Dusseldorf in 1968. He represented Britain in the British Pavilion at the Venice Biennale in 1976 and was awarded the Turner Prize in 1989.

Edition of 100, each signed and numbered by the artist on an archival label on the reverse of the print.
