Richard Long: Many Rivers to Cross by
"Many Rivers to Cross" is an overview of Long's career, selected by the artist himself and spanning the late 1960s to the present day. It covers his practice in all its forms - walks, photographs, text works, large installations, mud works and drawings, including some early unpublished works as well as many seminal and celebrated projects. Some short 'back stories' written by Long provide insight into the context and creation of key works, but also evoke the sense of freedom and adventure of an epic journey across foreign landscapes. Texts include a recent conversation between Long and internationally acclaimed composer and musician Nitin Sawhney; a dialogue about the recreation of Muddy Water Circle (1994) at Frieze Masters in London with Lisson Gallery in 2013; and a discussion with curator Alkistis Dimaki on the occasion of the presentation of Athens Slate Line at the Acropolis, Athens, in summer 2020. The book also includes documentation of works presented internationally in museums and galleries.

Richard Long: Berlin Circle by
Richard Long is one of the leading protagonists of Land Art. He uses the movement of his own body, hiking and walking through the landscape as a criterion and medium for his art. He has been creating outside works for more than 40 years all over the world. Photographs document these transient works. But right from the beginning the artist has also designed works for the museum space. Here as well, sculptures are created with archetypical forms, made of wood or stone: ellipses, lines or circles. The centre and inspiration for this exhibition at the Hamburger Bahnhof is the eponymous work Berlin Circle. The circle of stone, twelve metres in diametre, laid out on the floor is an important work in the Sammlung Marx and was first unveiled and installed by the artist For The opening of the Hamburger Bahnhof in 1996. Published on the occasion of the exhibition Richard Long: Berlin Circle at Hamburger Bahnhof, Museum Gegenwart, Berlin, 26 March - 31 July 2011.

Richard Long: A Line Made by Walking by
In 1967, Richard Long, then twenty-two years old and a student at Saint Martin's School of Art in London, walked back and forth along a straight line in the grass in the English countryside, leaving a track that he then photographed in black and white. The resulting work, A Line Made by Walking, was not only the starting point for Long's career as an artist but also a landmark for a new kind of art emerging in Europe and the Americas. Although A Line Made by Walking is an instantly recognizable work, no detailed analysis of this foundational piece has yet been published until now.
