A pioneer of conceptual practices in the 1960s, Long takes sculpture out of the studio into nature and around the world, using time, space, distance, navigation, perception, the elements, and the geological forces that have shaped the landscape as both his tools and his vocabulary.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cem\u003eMany Rivers to Cross\u003c\/em\u003e is a personal overview of Richard Long's career, including works selected by the artist 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in all its forms: walks, photographs, text works, large installations, mud works, and drawings, including some early unpublished works as well as many seminal and celebrated projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA number of short backstories written by Long not only provide insight into the context and making 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 \u003cem\u003eMuddy Water Circle\u003c\/em\u003e at Frieze Masters in London with Lisson Gallery; and a discussion with curator Alkistis Dimaki on the occasion of the presentation of Athens Slate Line at the Acropolis, Athens. The book also includes documentation of works presented internationally in museums and galleries. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Thames \u0026amp; Hudson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/21\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780500971208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 424\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.48lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 12.80w x 1.90d","brand":"Richard Long","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42077462921397,"sku":"9780500971208","price":59.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_6b9b9ded-dd11-4eb4-9774-7545b78eabe6.jpg?v=1650955949","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/richard-long-many-rivers-to-cross-9780500971208","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
