Remembering and Forgetting Conceptual Art

Alex Klein's article "Remembering and Forgetting Conceptual Art", talks a lot about conceptual art.  One way that he introduces this article is by talking about Meyer's book cover. "Idea based art eliminated the need to distinguish between artistic and critic, thus untethering the artwork from the art historians analysis" (120).   Photography and conceptual art work very well together.  A lot of photography begins with the concept or idea to either make art pretty or to make some sort of abstract idea.  "The distinctions between conceptual practice and more traditional documentary modes have become increasingly malleable" (122).  The author talks a lot about book covers and compares it to the strategies of Conceptual Art.
