Conceptual art, which favours an engagement with ideas over the creation of the traditional art object, is associated mainly with the countercultural beliefs and challenges to authority of the 1960s and 1970s, but is very much alive today. To the key question 'What is Art?', Conceptual artists have replied -- with photographs, videos, words, performances, installations, posters, readymades and other objects -- 'This could be Art'. Tony Godfrey's account is international in scope, featuring artists ranging from Joseph Kosuth and Lawrence Weiner in the United States to Europeans Victor Burgin and Marcel Broodthaers. Godfrey's clear and effervescent account offers a much-needed accessible explanation of this provocative art phenomenon.
Review:
"By the time we arrive at Tony Godfrey's CONCEPTUAL ART, we find that controlled dangerous substances have become art, as in Hélio Oiticica's MAILERYN (1973). But Godfrey's book enters 'Anti-Art Gestures in Early Modernism' via Duchamp and Dada, and we must ask ourselves, What happened to the intervening 50 years? It is conceptual art that exposes how decidedly 'retro' the art of the last half of the 20th-century has been. There are new media, such as neon signs and holographics, and advertising, but the message remains the same."
Mimi MacFarland, Bloomsbury Review, Nov/Dec 1999

Conceptual Art (Paperback) (ISBN: 9780714833880) Godfrey, Tony Quantity Available: 10
Book Description: Phaidon Press Ltd, United Kingdom, 1998. Paperback. Book Condition: New. 220 x 160 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. Covering the entire 20th century, this text traces the roots of conceptual art to movements such as Dada, explaining its importance in the 1960s and 1970s and showing that it is still alive today. In 1917 Marcel Duchamp signed the name R. Mutt on a urinal and placed it in a gallery. Even the most strident modernists refused to accept this object as a work of art, however, Duchamp stuck to his guns, claiming that he had chosen the urinal as an art object so it must be art. Such arguments over the nature of art still continue today. Tony Godfrey sees the archetypal work of Conceptual Art as a question and a proposition joined together: "What is Art? This could be Art." This text seeks to demystify the subject by placing the art in its social and political context.
