Offset lithograph on 300gsm Saunders Waterfort natural white paper // Richard Long’s Untitled from the Artists Against Torture portfolio is a limited edition lithograph that uses a series of green footprint impressions to create a spiral-like pattern on a natural white paper background. The footprints are arranged in a precise, methodical pathway, giving the image a meditative quality that contrasts with the intense subject matter suggested by the portfolio’s title. Known for his land art and exploration of natural forms, Long’s use of footprints speaks to both the human presence and the idea of a journey, perhaps symbolizing resilience, movement, or a pilgrimage toward justice. The red circular stamp at the top adds a subtle focal point, grounding the otherwise ethereal composition.

What is Emphemeral Art?
Ephemeral art is a type of art that occurs only once and typically lasts for a very short period. It cannot be displayed as a traditional work of art in a gallery or museum. Examples of ephemeral art include performances, happenings, sound sculptures, flyers, and mass-produced items. This art form emphasizes the transient nature of the experience, existing only in the moment and often leaving no lasting physical trace.
