Testo di Alessandro Loschiavo
River Avon Slow Mud Spiral was painted directly onto an entire gallery wall in 2011 at Abbot Hall Art Gallery, Kendal, Cumbria.
The artist is Richard Long, from Bristol. Once the spiral was painted, Richard Long used his hand to imprint each mudprint on the spiral using mud from the River Avon.
Richard Long often uses nature as the subject and material in this way, showing similarities with prehistoric cave painting, being primal and elemental.

Four Strong Winds Circle
16 York Street
Artist Richard Long describes this bold and insightful commission for Cadillac Fairview, called Four Strong Winds, as follows: “It’s an evocative and beautiful song sung by Neil Young, a great artist (and Canadian). It reminds me of the time hitching across the Prairies in 1974, going through places like Medicine Hat and Saskatoon. I did my walk in The High Plains in Saskatchewan.”
Richard Long has made eight works for the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam. He is famous for his subtle interventions in the landscape at some of the most remote locations around the world.

In 1963 Flavin arrived at his distinctive medium, which consisted of arrangements of fluorescent tubes and the light and shadows they create. For this iconic work, he used the minimum number of ordinary light fixtures needed to establish a series. The title pay tribute to William of Ockham, a 14th century philosopher who developed the principle known as “Ockham’s Razor,” based on the maxim “ it is vain to do with more what can be done with fewer.”
Although known for his earthworks, Long also makes interior works, including photographs with texts and sculptures. Since classic earthworks cannot be exhibited because of their site specificity and/or Impermanence, some land artists bring natural materials inside to create a display. Sandstone Spiral is such a sculpture, and is an extension of Long’s outdoor works in both form and material. The Spiral, having its roots in prehistory, is a recurring motif in his oeuvre, consistent with his attraction to ancient sites.

I must nod my head to Richard Long and his land sculpture: A Line Made By Walking. It popped into my head as soon as I saw the long thin line that this pipeline is drawing in the earth as it rises above the surface.

The bit of 'unfinished paving' is actually a sculpture by Richard Long called Cornwall Slate Line.

I have long admired this art work in one of the buildings where my husband works in Sydney. At the time when he was Director of the Kinghorn Cancer Centre, he was heavily involved with its construction and aesthetic and sat on the approval committee that reached out to the artist for this project.
The main wall of the foyer and atrium area features this impressive and striking permanent installation artwork 'White Water Falls' (2012), by the British land artist Richard Long and it spans eight floors.
This image is looking upward from ground level.
Richard writes, “I made this work by mixing a relatively small proportion of powdered china clay with a much larger proportion of water. Over the years I’ve learned to harness and control the liquidity of this clay mix. I worked fast, using my right hand, while holding the bucket with my left. The speed and energy of my hand helped make the splashes. I made each level in the ‘same’ way, although each level is unique. I make part of the work and the forces of nature – gravity and chance – make the rest. I want to use and show the cosmic variety of the micro-detail, and the beauty of chance. Some years ago I realised the splashes and run-downs, the ‘out-takes’, were as interesting as my hand marks. In this work I’m happy for this part of the work to play the leading role. I worked from the bottom to the top of the wall, always working on a clean surface, rising as the water fell, the momentary present overlapping the recent past.”
Richard has been in the vanguard of conceptual and land art in Britain since he created 'A Line Made by Walking' (1967), while still a student. He was knighted in the 2018 New Year's Honours list.

So after lunch I had an explore round the Tate Modern and here are a few exhibits that caught my attention.
Richard Long has a sculpture outdoors at Chatsworth so I was familiar with his work but I must say I think these are far superior to the Chatsworth one.
Houghton Hall
Built in the 1720s for Sir Robert Walpole, Great Britain’s first Prime Minister.
Houghton Hall is one of Norfolk’s most beautiful stately homes and one of England’s finest Palladian houses.
