UNITED KINGDOM---For an artist pricked with as much wanderlust as Richard Long, there must be something rather comforting about, at long last, returning home. Anyone who saw Long’s retrospective "Heaven and Earth" at Tate Britain in 2009 will find this show entirely familiar. Yet I suppose that the consistency of his artistic vision is one of the remarkable things about Long. Having discovered his “voice” in the late Sixties, he has devoted himself to articulating it with the lifelong self-discipline of a medieval monk. [link]
