In this collection of essays, Amsterdam art historian and critic Camiel van Winkel digs up the conceptual roots of contemporary art, design and photography to argue that the art of today is, as a whole, "post-conceptual." Focusing on the conceptual artists of the years 1965-1975, van Winkel examines how the art of that era continues to inform the art world today.

It is an essential collection for any understanding of that idea, belief and desire we today call "the artist."
