Conceptual Art is an artistic approach in which the idea, process or intellectual framework can take precedence over the traditional material object. Emerging as a major force in the 1960s and 1970s, it challenged established definitions of art, authorship, originality and the role of institutions.
This tag collects articles, critical essays and analysis on Conceptual Art and its legacy, from historical figures and landmark practices to contemporary artists who use language, systems, documentation, performance, instructions and dematerialised forms to question how art produces meaning.
