The artwork titled “South Bank Circle” was created by Richard Long in 1991. This piece is a part of the Post-Minimalism art movement and falls under the genre of installation art.
The artwork consists of a circular arrangement of angular, irregularly-shaped stones. Each stone is carefully positioned to create a sense of deliberate chaos and natural beauty. The stones vary in size, and together they form a cohesive yet intricate pattern that invites viewers to contemplate the intersection of natural forms and human intervention. The careful placement of the stones on the polished floor contrasts the rough texture of the stones, enhancing the visual and contextual impact of the installation.
