Conceptual Art
Conceptual art set out to challenge two key assumptions normally associated with art – the production of objects to look at and the act of contemplative looking itself. This accessible introduction explores the reasons why the new avant-garde that emerged in the 1960s and 1970s felt compelled to produce such critical work and examines the extent to which this movement may be regarded as the turning point between the modernist past of painting and the postmodernist present of the contemporary art world.

Perhaps few words have been as overused and misunderstood in recent times as the term `postmodernism’. This book presents a lively, wide-ranging and highly readable exploration of what postmodernism has come to mean in the context of contemporary art.
