Modern Art Movements Conceptual Art - Paul Wood

Conceptual Art, an art movement where ideas rather than objects began to take precedence, emerged in the 1960s and 1970s and constituted one of the most significant turning points in modern art.

In this book, art historian Paul Wood examines conceptual art in all its aspects, tracing the movement's roots in Marcel Duchamp's works, Piero Manzoni's 'mocking' of the art world, and the activities of the Fluxus group.

He then explores how Conceptual artists brought fundamental questions about artistic Modernism to the fore and addressed broader social and political issues. He examines the works of feminist artists such as Mary Kelly, in addition to Dan Graham, Joseph Kosuth, and the British Art & Language group, as well as artists from around the world such as Joseph Beuys and Daniel Buren, Ilya Kabakov, On Kawara, and Cildo Meireles.

This series introduces readers to the art movements that have left their mark on the last two centuries. It offers an illuminating perspective from which the entire developmental trajectory of modern art can be viewed, both through its different periods and as a whole.
