Conceptual Art in Britain 1964-1979

Explores for the first time a key chapter in the story of post-war and contemporary British art

This is the first publication to explore the rich history of conceptual art in Britain during its most exciting and innovative period, from the mid-1960s to the end of the 1970s. Conceptual Art in Britain examines how the early works of this period took the form of a challenge to art's traditional boundaries and how by the mid-1970s, focus had shifted away from issues of art and individual experience towards questions of politics and identity, using the languages of documentary, propaganda and advertising in the service of action. Featuring contributions from experts in the field and previously unpublished archival material, this is the key book on the subject for students, scholars and all those with an interest in contemporary art.
