Detailed Description

Conceptual art is an art movement that emphasizes ideas over traditional artistic techniques. Many of the earliest examples of conceptual art were created in the 1960s by artists who were associated with the Dada movement, such as Marcel Duchamp and his famous “readymades” – everyday objects that he declared to be art. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, artists like Joseph Kosuth and Lawrence Weiner began creating artworks consisting solely of text, which they called “conceptual” or “information” art. Famous conceptual artists include Yoko Ono, who is known for her instructions paintings, such as “Painting to Be Stepped On” and “Sky Piece”; and Sol LeWitt, who is known for his large-scale wall drawings. One of the most famous conceptual artworks is Duchamp’s “Fountain”, a urinal that he signed and submitted to an art exhibition in 1917. Conceptual art is often seen as a reaction against traditional art forms, such as painting and sculpture, which are seen as being too focused on the physical object. Instead, conceptual artists emphasize the idea or concept behind the work of art. As such, conceptual artworks are often quite minimal in appearance, and can take the form of anything from a written statement to a performance or an installation. While conceptual art is often associated with the avant-garde, it has also been embraced by the mainstream art world, with many major museums and galleries collecting and exhibiting works by conceptual artists.
