Idea art : a critical anthology
Gregory Battcock (Editor)
By 1970 it was clear that a new type of art was emerging in New York and European art worlds. Quickly labeled Conceptual or Idea Art, the form encompassed an extraordinary variety of works. What they all seemed to have in common was a rejection of the "bourgeois' aspects of traditional art. Works of Idea Art frequently did not actually exist as objects. Rather, they remained ideas; often, what did exist was only some kind of documentation referring to the concept. The chief purpose of this anthology is to present in a direct way some of the action, diversity, and rationale behind Idea Art. And it attempts to do so by presenting the student and educator with some of the original and important theoretical documents that helped set the direction of the new artistic emphasis" - Publisher
