EDINBURGH.-A major new exhibition of work by one of the great figures of contemporary British art will be the highlight of the 2007 summer programme at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art. Richard Long’s innovative, beautiful, thought-provoking and influential work, which expresses man’s relationship with the landscape, has gained him a world-wide reputation. Spanning his entire career, and selected by the artist, Walking and Marking will demonstrate how Long has extended his artistic practice over forty years, bringing together examples of all of his signature methods and procedures. This will be the artist’s first major retrospective exhibition in the UK since 1991 and will be on view through October 21, 2007.
