He lives and works in Bristol, the city in which he was born.Long studied at Saint Martin's School of Art before going on to create work using various media including sculpture, photography, and text. His work is on permanent display in Britain at the Tate and Bristol City Museum and Art Gallery as well as galleries in America, Switzerland, and Australia.Long's work has broadened the idea of sculpture to be a part of performance art and conceptual art. His work typically is made of earth, rock, mud, stone, and other nature-based materials. In exhibitions, his work is typically displayed with the materials or through documentary photographs of his performances and experiences.This lot came from the Jim Wiggins collection we purchased in July 2022.
