encountered on site is carried through to the fre-
quent use of quarry stones obtained from sources
near to exhibition locations rather than the use of
materials removed from the landscape sites of the
sculptures. Far from being ‘‘copies’’ of experiences
of apprehending the sculptures (which may or may
not still exist) the photographs of the sculptures are
now considered by many as the crucial production
of meaning in his work. Following on from this, it
has been argued that the artist’s photographs can-
not be easily pulled apart from the creative act itself
and are therefore an integral part of it.
Richard Long invariably involves himself in all
aspects of the presentation of his work in gallery
exhibitions and in publications, many of which are
in fact artists’ books, a medium that was instru-
mental in Long’s early success. A case in point is
Walking in Circlesshown at London’s Hayward
Gallery in 1991. Here he worked closely with the
exhibition organizer in the selection and installa-
tion of the works, and he collaborated with the
graphic designer in the production of the book
that accompanied the exhibition. Such attention
to detail can variously be seen in theWalking in
Circlespublication in the recreation of one of the
exhibits as a blind embossed design on the binding,
in the titling of the different sections of the book,
and in the choice and ordering of the photographs.
Examples of work are in important private col-
lections such as the John Haldane Collection and in
numerous art museums and photographic collec-
tions of the first rank such as the Museum of
Modern Art, New York.
