| Abstract: |
The attack on previous art forms. The emergence of conceptual art and the adoption of two great legacies of modernism, readymade and geometric abstraction. The focus is on a revised, linguistic landmark of modernism's self-reflexivity and the pushing of this idea to the point of undermining the possibility of aesthetic autonomy. We examine Lucy Lippard's book Six Years: The Dematerialization of the Art Object from 1966 to 1972, which has been pivotal in the constitution and reception of conceptual art as an archive that utilizes the very tools of emergent art to record practices and write theory. In the third part, drawing on key examples of conceptual art, we discuss the formation of a radically different basis for new critical interventions in the rhetorical and institutional context, which brought about decisive changes in the production and reception of artwork and created new conditions of viewing, distribution, form and institutional critique (to which we will devote a separate chapter later in the book).
