Nearby Richard Long: Heaven and Earth

British landscape artist Richard Long, shortlisted for the Turner Prize four times, finally winning it in 1989, is the subject of a solo exhibition at Tate Britain. It was after winning the Turner Prize with 'White Water Line' that the Tate commissioned Long to create three site specific pieces for its Duveen Gallery. Walking in the landscape, creating sculptures out of nature is a fixation for the artist who first started this kind of work in 1967 when he walked through a grass field, creating a straight line through the downtrodden greenery. Since then his work has taken him from the Alps to the Andes. This is a chance to see the landscape sculptures he's created along the way.About Tate Britain
Overlooking the River Thames, Tate Britain was originally founded through the philanthropy of the sugar magnate Sir Henry Tate. The Tate legacy now encompasses three other galleries around the UK, including Tate Modern also in London. Dedicated to showcasing Britain's artistic talent, Tate Britain is home to the greatest collection of British art from 1500 to the present day. More about Tate Britain
