Six Years

Six Years: The Artistic Revolution, 1966-72 is an influential book edited and annotated by Lucy Lippard. It documents the contemporaneous evolution of conceptual art. Conceptual art is an art form where the artist's intent is to convey a concept, rather than to create a physical art object. This movement, prominent in the 1960s and 1970s, challenged traditional notions of art and the role of the artist. Lippard's work was instrumental in bringing conceptual art to a wider public and is noted for its activist politics.1234
