Art & design styles: Conceptual art

Emerging in the late 1960s, conceptual art was spurred by a network of artists, dealers, curators and critics. These little-known connections are detailed for the first time in this highly significant volume.

By focusing on 15 artists including Marcel Broodthaers, Richard Long, Lawrence Weiner, Hanne Darboven and Daniel Buren and a specific network of dealer-galleries, private and public institutions and collectors around them, author Sophie Richard documents the role of art dealers in the development of conceptual art which ultimately led to the structure of today's art world. We learn how conceptual artworks entered private collections and public institutions, how value was conferred to them, and the distribution networks that drove these artists' success. A detailed account of artistic activity in the decade 196777 is accompanied by extensive and previously unpublished data, charting the exhibitions and sales of conceptual works.

The relationships, support structures and strategies of dealer-galleries such as Konrad Fischer, Wide White Space and Lisson Gallery are revealed and make fascinating reading. Including numerous interviews with key figures of the period, 'Unconcealed' exposes the new dealing, curatorial, collecting and teaching methods formed in this decade that continue to be critical to today's art world.

Reviews for Unconcealed: The International Network of Conceptual Artists, 1967–77: Dealers, Exhibitions and Public Collections

The explosion of interest in black popular culture studies in the past fifteen years has left a significant need for a reader that reflects this new scholarly energy. Black Cultural Traffic answers that need. - Mark Anthony Neal, author of Songs in the Key of Black Life: A Rhythm and Blues Nation
