History
Commissioners outside the British Pavilion
The Commissioner for the British Pavilion in 1976 was Gerald Forty (Director of Fine Arts Department, British Council). The Assistant Commissioner was Muriel Wilson.
Richard Long's Installation
1,000 red breccia stones were chosen at a stone-merchant's yard near Verona and transported by pontoon and crane to the Pavilion where the artist created the sculpture. Richard Long revised the idea by using 608 stones, the number needed to form a line running three times through the pavilion in a square spiral.
