Artpress 1989 Dossier on Conceptual Art and Minimalism
In 1981, during the peak of the Transavanguardia movement, artpress published a dossier ironically titled 'L'art de la fin de l'art… 10 après' (issue no. 54), which argued for the enduring relevance of conceptual art. The magazine now claims prescience, noting that the persistence of conceptual art is widely acknowledged today through numerous exhibitions and publications. This 1989 dossier revisits the topic, examining the relationship between conceptual art and minimalism as an art-historical problem.
