art designed to convey a particular idea, art in which the concept represented is superior to the art object itself
Conceptual art is
art in which the
concept(s) or
idea(s) involved in the work take precedence over traditional
aesthetic and material concerns. Many of the works of the artist
Sol LeWitt may be constructed by anyone simply by following a set of written instructions. This method was fundamental to LeWitt's definition of Conceptual art, one of the first to appear in print: For the layman, this quotation highlights a key difference between a conceptualist installation and a traditional work of art - that the conceptualist's work may require little or no physical craftsmanship in its execution, whereas traditional art is distinguished by requiring physical skill and the making of aesthetic choices. As Tony Godfrey has put it, after Joseph Kosuth's definition of art, conceptual art is an art which questions the very nature of what is understood as art.
