Conceptual art consisted of a loose collection of related practices that emerged worldwide during the 1960s and 1970s. This collection of essays offers readers a wealth of new research on the earliest international exhibitions of Conceptual art; new interpretations of some of its most important practitioners; and a reconsideration of the relationship between Conceptual art and the intellectual and social context of the 1960s and 1970s. Of special note are the contributions that focus on the explicitly social and political aspirations of this influential avant-garde artistic practice.

- Special focus on the social dimensions of Anglo-American art
- Excellent range of illustrative material, some appearing for the first time since the 1960s and 1970s
Reviews & endorsements
'… these contributions open up a welcome historiography of this period.' Art Monthly
See more reviews'This detailed anthology is an expert recalibration of a theme thinly offered by recent publications. This anthology shows that the legacy of conceptual art remains a transfiguring subject for critics and, if so desired, becomes a profound interrogation for curators. Make it your guide.' Journal of Visual Culture
'… this is an incisive and scholarly contribution to the extant literature which … may well become a benchmark for serious study of the subject area.' Art History
