Editing Conceptual art (section)

==Contemporary history==
Proto-conceptualism has roots in the rise of [[Modernism]] with, for example, [[Manet]] (1832–1883) and later [[Marcel Duchamp]] (1887–1968). The first wave of the "conceptual art" movement extended from approximately 1967<ref>

to 1978. Early "concept" artists like [[Henry Flynt]] (1940– ), [[Robert Morris (artist)|Robert Morris]] (1931–2018), and [[Ray Johnson]] (1927–1995) influenced the later, widely accepted movement of conceptual art. Conceptual artists like [[Dan Graham]], [[Hans Haacke]], and [[Lawrence Weiner]] have proven very influential on subsequent artists, and well-known contemporary artists such as [[Mike Kelley (artist)|Mike Kelley]] or [[Tracey Emin]] are sometimes labeled{{By whom|date=May 2019}} "second- or third-generation" conceptualists, or "[[post-conceptual]]" artists (the prefix Post- in art can frequently be interpreted as "because of").

Contemporary artists have taken up many of the concerns of the conceptual art movement, while they may or may not term themselves "conceptual artists". Ideas such as anti-commodification, social and/or political critique, and ideas/information as [[art medium|medium]] continue to be aspects of contemporary art, especially among artists working with [[installation art]], [[performance art]], [[art intervention]], [[net.art]], and [[electronic art|electronic]]/[[digital art]].<ref>{{cite web|title= Conceptual Art – The Art Story|url= http://www.theartstory.org/movement-conceptual-art.htm|website= theartstory.org|publisher= The Art Story Foundation|access-date= 25 September 2014}}</ref>{{request quotation|date=May 2019}}

===Revival===
[[Neo-conceptual art]] describes art practices in the 1980s and particularly 1990s to date that derive from the conceptual art movement of the 1960s and 1970s.  These subsequent initiatives have included the [[Moscow Conceptualists]], United States neo-conceptualists such as [[Sherrie Levine]] and the [[Young British Artists]], notably [[Damien Hirst]] and [[Tracey Emin]] in the [[United Kingdom]].

=== Parody ===
The movement is parodied in [[Jilly Cooper]]'s 2002 novel [[Pandora (2002 novel)|Pandora]].<ref name=":0">{{Cite news |last=MacFarlane |first=Robert |date=2002-05-05 |title=Laughing all the way to the bonk |url=https://www.theguardian.com/books/2002/may/05/fiction.features2 |access-date=2025-04-15 |work=The Observer |language=en-GB |issn=0029-7712}}</ref>
