Description
Stones Clouds Miles: A Richard Long Reader is an anthology of writings that charts the critical reception of British artist Richard Long's work. Long's practice stems from his deep love of nature and solitary walks, which has had a profound impact on the relationship between art and landscape.
The book features a coherent span of over 30 essays and reviews on Long from the late 1960s to the present, including contributions from notable figures such as April Kingsley, Nicholas Serota, Richard Cork, Rudi Fuchs, and Robert Macfarlane. The texts are accompanied by Long's own statements, key interviews, and an introductory essay that examines his unique position within postwar art history.
This collection brings together a wide range of perspectives on Long's work, offering insight into the artist's enduring influence on contemporary sculpture and our understanding of the natural world.
