Untitled is a 1990 ink by Richard Long, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This print is a tall, narrow black-and-white list of words. The words are stacked vertically, each on its own line. Some words describe nature—like *lava stone*, *cactus blooms*, *dry wash*—while others are actions: *skipping*, *rustling*, *snapping*. The background looks like brushstrokes or shadows, messy and uneven. The words seem to be notes from a long walk in a desert. The artist wrote them down as he went, mixing sights and sounds. The title at the bottom says it’s from a 60-minute walk in Texas in 1990. If this style of art interests you, look up lithography.
Sir Richard Julian Long (born 2 June 1945) is an English sculptor, painter, photographer, and one of the best-known British land artists.
