By the mid-1970s conceptual art had become a widely accepted approach in Western visual art. Despite the resurgence of “traditional” image-based work in the 1980s, conceptual art has been described as one of the most influential movements of the late 20th century, a logical extension of the work begun by the French artist Marchel Duchamp in 1914 to break the primacy of the perceptual in art. Along with its critique of the visual, conceptual art involved a redefinition of the traditional relationship between artist and audience, empowering artists and enabling them to operate both inside and outside the gallery system.

Conceptual art is typically associated with a number of American artists of the 1960s and ’70s—including Sol LeWitt, Joseph Kosuth, Lawrence Weiner, Robert Barry, Mel Bochner, and John Baldessari—and in Europe with the English group Art & Language (composed of Terry Atkinson, Michael Baldwin, David Bainbridge, and Harold Hurrell), Richard Long (English), Jan Dibbets (Dutch), and Daniel Buren (French), among others.
