Global Conceptualism: Points of Origin, 1950s-1980s - Queens Museum of Art 1999
Presenting an unprecedented range of material, Global Conceptualism: Points of Origin, 1950s-1980s challenges the canonical perception that conceptual art was simply one movement which spread internationally and acknowledges the important local circumstances which gave birth to conceptualist art in regions around the world. This book traces the history of this key development in 20th-century art which was marked by a shift from a consideration of the object to that of the idea. The emergence of conceptualist art, which coincided with broadly destabilizing sociological and technological trends as the political, economic, and social landscapesof large parts of the world underwent significant, often traumatic, transition, occurred in two relatively distinct waves of activity: the first, from the late 1950s to around 1973, and the second from the mid-1970s to the end of the '80s.
Covering three decades of idea-based art, this book features works by more than 135 artists. This catalogue was published in conjunction with a major touring exhibition organized by the Queens Museum of Art, Queens, New York City.
Texts by Ane Farver, Luis Camnitzer, Rachel Weiss, László Beke, Chiba Shigeo, Reiko Tomii, Okwui Enwezor, Gao Minglu, Claude Gintz, Mari Carmen Ramírez, Terry Smith, Sung Wan-Kyung, Margarita Tupitsyn, and Peter Wollen.
