In & out of Amsterdam: Travels in Conceptual Art, 1960–1976

With “In & Out of Amsterdam: Travels in Conceptual Art, 1960–1976,” the Museum of Modern Art trains its modernist lens on conceptual art as a historic phenomenon. Ten European and American artists are presented in view of their connections with the city of Amsterdam circa 1970. This book presents more than 120 works — including works on paper, installations, photographs and films — by artists who were part of this remarkable creative culture. Essays, accompanied by lively illustrations and documentary photographs, illuminate the significance of these works as well as the unprecedented role that prints, bulletins, posters, mail art, artists' books and ephemera played in the artists' discourse.
