Abstract (English)

"What is art? Must it be a unique, saleable luxury item? Can it be a concept that never takes material form? Or an idea for a work that can be repeated endlessly? Conceptual art favours an engagement with such questions. As the variety of illustrations in this book shows, it can take many forms: photographs, videos, posters, billboards, charts, plans and, especially, language itself. [...] Godfrey has written the first truly international account of Conceptual art, acknowledging the importance of the United States and Europe in its development, but also considering works from as far afield as Japan and Argentina." -- Back cover.
