The artwork “Small White Pebble Circles Date,” created by Richard Long in 1987, is an installation piece associated with the Post-Minimalism art movement. The composition consists of small white pebbles arranged meticulously into concentric circles.
In this work, the artist employs natural elements to create a harmonious and minimalistic design. The white pebbles are uniformly aligned into evenly spaced rings, forming a pattern that captures the viewer’s attention through its simplicity and precision. The artwork’s circular form and the use of a monochromatic palette evoke a sense of calm and order, reinforcing the Post-Minimalist ethos of reducing art to its fundamental components. This installation exemplifies Richard Long’s exploration of space, nature, and geometry in his artistic practice.
