ARTIST ROOMS On Tour with the Art Fund. Born in 1945, Richard Long is one of a generation of distinguished British artists whose work extends the possibilities of sculpture beyond the confines of traditional materials and display.
Long’s work is rooted in his deep affinity with nature, developed during solitary walks. As part of ARTIST ROOMS On Tour with the Art Fund, the Ulster Museum will exhibit a new work by Long, Cornish Slate Ellipse, 2009, alongside over 20 works on paper spanning four decades of the artist’s career.
