Collection: Conceptual Art

Books, artists' publications, catalogues, and documents from and about Conceptual Art — the movement that placed idea above object and transformed what art could be. This collection spans the pivotal decades of the 1960s and 70s through to contemporary conceptual practice, with material by and on figures including Sol LeWitt, Lawrence Weiner, Joseph Kosuth, Art & Language, On Kawara, and their peers. Many of the most significant works in this field exist primarily as printed matter — making books not just documentation, but the work itself.
