In the 1960s, many artists experimented with art that emphasized ideas about objects and materials traditionally associated with artistic creation. In 1967, Sol LeWitt wrote in his essay “Paragraphs on Conceptual Art” that “the idea itself, even if it is not visual, is as much a work of art as any finished product”. Conceptual artists use their work to question the notion of what art is and to critique the underlying ideological structures of artistic production, distribution and exhibition. Conceptual art is a movement that values ideas over the formal or visual components of works of art.
