Conceptual Art A&I (Art and Ideas). By Tony Godfrey. 1998. 447pp. 6.5"x8.75". Paper.
A clear and engaging account of art where the idea behind the work is as important as, if not more than, its physical existence. An international account of Conceptual art, that considers works from as far as Japan and Argentina, as well as the more well-known locations of Europe and America. The book covers the many forms of Conceptual art: photographs, videos, posters, billboards, charts, plans and even language itself.
