Conceptual photos simply indicate a radical change of art that had already disappeared. The photograph was necessary only as a residue of communication.
CONCEPTUAL PHOTOGRAPHY 1964–1989Pushing the boundaries of photography is at CITY's core, and we can't wait for tonight's opening of Conceptual Photography, 1964–1989 at New York's Zwirner & Wirth gallery. Featuring works by Lucas Samaras, Charles Ray (Plank Piece I, II, above), Andy Warhol, and Sol LeWitt, the exhibit focuses on the photograph as a creative tool in the making of performance and personal study. Highlighted works include photographic documentation of a Nam June Paik performance and Bruce Nauman's Studies for Holograms (a–e), all proving—as they should—that with exciting photography, there's much more than meets the eye.

Photography was largely spurned by the world of fine art for over one hundred and twenty years (the daguerreotype was invented 1839). There were some notable exceptions such as dada photomontage, surrealist photography and constructivist photography—but these were always on the fringes of the principal activities which were painting and sculpture. It was only in the 1970s when conceptual art began to use photography as a primary mode of expression that photography, finally, took centre stage. This became reinforced by the fact that conceptual photography segued in the late 1970s into the postmodern appropriation movement (Cindy Sherman, Barbara Kruger, Sherrie Levine) that dominated the international art scene in the 1980s.
Today photography is widely accepted as a fine art medium akin to painting, but in this post I would like to consider aspects of that point in history when photography came into its own; the point when conceptual art turned to photography.

Oh a new mise-en-scene of my death. After drowning, heart attack following a drug overdose, here is my death from the attack of the parking lot serial killer or of a monstrous entity that lurks in the shadows ...

We get a ton of portfolio links from photographers far and wide, but they seldom really stop you in your tracks like this guy. Check it out – a man on a unicycle with half a cow over his shoulder – conceptual photography at its best.
