Exhibition
Richard Long
Prints 1970-2013
This exhibition brings together, for the first time, all of the artist’s prints, made over a 40-year period. These provide great insight into the relationship between Long’s sculpture and graphic work. To mark the occasion of this exhibition, the artist has realised a special signed and numbered limited edition print, NO FOOTPRINTS (2013). This relates to a walk in the Antarctica in December 2012 when, for the first and only time, Long discovered conditions that did not allow him to leave behind any trace in the landscape.
To compliment this major print survey, Long has created a special wall work spanning the Gallery’s 26-metre long wall using mud sourced from his home and birthplace in Bristol.
The New Art Gallery Walsall is the only UK venue for ‘Richard Long: Prints 1970-2013’, which has been produced in collaboration with Museum Kurhaus Kleve and Hamburger Kunsthalle, Germany.
