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 site specific art?
Site-Specific Art is a form of artwork created to exist in a particular location, with the artist considering the site as an integral part of the creative process. Robert Irwin was a key figure in promoting this art form in California. Site-Specific Art emerged as a reaction against modernist objects, which were often portable, commodified, and confined to museum spaces. In contrast, Site-Specific Art is inherently tied to its location, challenging the traditional notions of art as a transportable and marketable commodity.
