Walking piece
This formative piece was made on one of Long’s journeys to St Martin’s from his home in Bristol.

A Line Made by Walking is a 1967 sculpture by British artist Richard Long. The piece was made when Long walked a continuous line into a field of grass in Wiltshire, England, and then photographed the result. The work is considered to be an important early work in the history of both land art and conceptual art. It has been described as among Long’s signature works, and as his “best-known early piece”.
