This landmark anthology collects for the first time the key
historical documents that helped give definition and purpose to the
conceptual art movement. Compared to other avant-garde movements
that emerged in the 1960s, conceptual art has received relatively
little serious attention by art historians and critics of the past
twenty-five years-in part because of the difficult, intellectual
nature of the art. This lack of attention is particularly striking
given the tremendous influence of conceptual art on the art of the
last fifteen years, on critical discussion surrounding
postmodernism, and on the use of theory by artists, curators,
critics, and historians. This landmark anthology collects for the
first time the key historical documents that helped give definition
and purpose to the movement. It also contains more recent memoirs
by participants, as well as critical histories of the period by
some of today's leading artists and art historians. Many of the
essays and artists' statements have been translated into English
specifically for this volume. A good portion of the exchange
between artists, critics, and theorists took place in
difficult-to-find limited-edition catalogs, small journals, and
private correspondence. These influential documents are gathered
here for the first time, along with a number of previously
unpublished essays and interviews. Contributors Alexander Alberro,
