This guide to conceptual art traces the issues and concerns of the
first generation of artists involved in the foundation of the movement,
with an essay exploring the historical basis of conceptual art, its
relationship to the dominant aesthetics of the 1960s, namely the
modernist theory of Clement Greenberg and his disciples, and the
influence of conceptual art on today`s art and cultural climate.
