Riverlines
In the spring of 2006, the Hearst Tower, world headquarters of the Hearst Corporation, was inaugurated in New York. On view in the lobby of this skyscraper by architect Norman Foster is a work entitled Riverlines, a magnificent fresco by British artist Richard Long, and the subject of this catalogue.
Long spent three days executing his stunning work on one of the main walls of the lobby. Using his fingers and mud from the Avon and Hudson rivers, the artist was able to create a nature allegory that links the private space of the office tower and the bustle of the city’s public space.
The dialogue between architecture and art takes on a natural and social meaning in Riverlines, in which Long makes the river a symbol for the working day, movement, and life.
