Session 4: Conceptual Art and the Neo-Avant-Garde
The political conditions of the 1930s followed
by the Second World War either destroyed or significantly undermined
the historical avant-gardes. Yet by the mid-1950s apparently comparable
tendencies were re-emerging on an international scale. The relationship
of this so-called ‘neo’-avant-garde to radical politics
has been the subject of considerable art-historical debate. So
too has its relationship to the Conceptual Art of the late 1960s. Paul Wood discusses some of this work and the art historical debates
surrounding it.
