Conceptual Art is a contemporary form of artistic representation, in which a specific concept or idea, often personal, complex and inclusive, takes shape in an abstract, nonconforming manner, based upon a negation of aesthetic principles. Conceptual Art is different from "Concept" as the content of art, but can be considered an abstract form of the idea and perception of the artwork originating in the artist's mind, which is later displayed in a proposed structure, and a variety of forms. Hence a conceptual work of art, in view of its general purpose and the relative aspects of its components, has unalterable qualities; and consequently, for the artists of this movement, definitions of art and artwork, and their relation to humanity, the environment and aesthetics are in process of re-evaluation, from a standpoint apart from modernism.

letztlich zählt das Ergebnis und seine Wirkung, die mitunter deutlich von der Konzeption abweichen kann... insbesondere, wenn keine Erklärungen mehr zur Verfügung stehen... dieses Ergebnis ist auf eine pompöse Art wunderschön!
