Study Room Open House: Richard Long

A special display of works from the collection by Richard Long (b. 1945) will be on view in the Study Room in conjunction with the online symposium Works on the Floor and the ongoing installation of the artist's floor sculpture Quantock Wood Circle (1981).

Richard Long’s creative practice centers on the fundamental human act of walking. He uses painting, photography, sculpture, and text to record his fleeting encounters with nature. The display will highlight works on paper from the YCBA collection, offering a broader picture of his artistic output.

Long’s floor sculpture Quantock Wood Circle is currently installed in the museum’s Library Court, where it will be on view through February 19, 2023. The YCBA will also host a related online symposium, titled Works on the Floor, on December 16, 2022.

Join us in the Study Room for this special display! Appointments are not needed.
