Artists created [[environmental sculpture]] on expansive sites in the '[[Land Arts of the American West|land art in the American West]]' group of projects. These [[land art]] or 'earth art' environmental scale sculpture works exemplified by artists such as [[Robert Smithson]], [[Michael Heizer]], [[James Turrell]] ([[Roden Crater]]). [[Eva Hesse]], [[Sol LeWitt]], [[Jackie Winsor]], [[Keith Sonnier]], [[Bruce Nauman]] and [[Dennis Oppenheim]] among others were pioneers of [[Postminimalist]] sculpture.

Also during the 1960s and 1970s artists as diverse as [[Eduardo Paolozzi]], [[Chryssa]], [[Claes Oldenburg]], [[George Segal (artist)|George Segal]], [[Edward Kienholz]], [[Nam June Paik]], [[Wolf Vostell]], [[Duane Hanson]], and [[John DeAndrea]] explored abstraction, imagery and figuration through [[video art]], environment, light sculpture, and [[installation art]] in new ways.

[[Conceptual art]] is art in which the concept(s) or idea(s) involved in the work take precedence over traditional aesthetic and material concerns. Works include ''[[One and Three Chairs]]'', 1965, is by [[Joseph Kosuth]], and ''[[An Oak Tree]]'' by [[Michael Craig-Martin]], and those of [[Joseph Beuys]], [[James Turrell]] and [[Jacek Tylicki]].
