Like Pop art, Abstract Expressionism, and Minimalism, Conceptual art was an historical form of avant-garde practice that rose to prominence in the postwar era and continues to exert an influence over visual art.

Conceptual Art offers an easy-to-digest historical overview of the Conceptual art movement's development, rise to prominence, and legacy. Artists and art collectives discussed in the book include Art & Language, Arte Povera, John Baldessari, Joseph Beuys, Victor Burgin, Marcel Duchamp, Fluxus, Joseph Kosuth, Richard Long, Nam June Paik, the Situationists, and Lawrence Wiener.

The first of the book’s seven chapters deals with the emergence in the 1960s of what has been called an “expanded field” for art activity. Other chapters discuss the consequences of Conceptual art for notions of the aesthetic; the Post-Conceptual practice of painting; practices of Post-Conceptual photography; video, performance, and installation art; and women’s practice and the question of gendered and nongendered objects. The final chapter explores the globalization of art at the end of the twentieth century. Full color illustrations are featured throughout the volume.

Hilarious and irreverent, full of games and yet passionately honest, they represent the best of a wildly popular Maui newspaper column called "Four Wheels Five Corners." Working without editorial restrictions, Paul Wood fashioned these pieces from his quarter-century of life on Maui, then lobbed them onto the island like fireworks -- or, in some cases, hand grenades -- each one designed to burst with a flash of humor and truth in the minds and hearts of his fiercely loyal readers.

Prepare to be inspired, perplexed, delighted, and infuriated. No one's ever written this way about the real Hawai'i before. Maybe because no one's ever dared.

Arranged in four main parts, this abundantly illustrated book begins by examining aspects of the European avant-garde from the 1930s to the aftermath of the Second World War. The second part focuses on the emergence of Abstract Expressionism in the U.S., in particular the work of Jackson Pollock and important critics. Part three looks at “autonomous” high modernism of the early to mid-1960s and the contemporary, related modernist theorization of photography. The final part of the book addresses the reemergence in the 1950s and 1960s of the concerns of the 1920 avant-gardes operating in the so-called “gap between art and life.”
