This thread is RADICAL CONCEPTUAL ART because it goes beyond TEXT.
Traditional conceptual art contains text only.
EXAMPLE:
Sol LeWitt simply typed his instructions for the wall drawings
( other people or art students would follow his instructions
in order to execute the actual drawing on a bare wall ).
In fact, this artist would sell the " instruction sheet "
signed & dated to a collector who would have to create
the drawing or hire someone to actually complete the
labor-intensive process. The Sol LeWitt__" Wall Drawings "__
are some of the most famous Conceptual Art works in
art history ( this fact is probably the reason his works sell
for very high prices at auction houses worldwide ).
NOTE:
If you're not familiar with artworks by Sol LeWitt__here's
the link to a fantastic slideshow for his big exhibition:
www.flickr.com/search/show/?q=sol+lewitt&w=67328355%40N00&ss=2
Understand that all the works in this exhibition were created by
volunteers and workers ( they followed the exact instructions by
Sol LeWitt ). * Also, the artist had died before the show.
This first post will be the ONLY ONE that contains text.
This thread is my vision of 'LINKS only' with absolutely no text
to explain anything. You go in blind, knowing you'll see art images
by various artists ( new & old ). You come out and realize
you've seen the light ! Members will not be able to post
links because this thread is my personal Radical Conceptual Art project.
Yet, I hope members/visitors will enjoy the
element-of-surprise after clicking on any link
to view a work of ART.
Toward the beginning of each reply I will try to have one or two photos of the artist.
* EACH REPLY will bundle several links to artworks by the same artist. Be sure to click
on each image because I'll be posting hi-res large works for each artist
( you'll be able to experience some great enlargements ).
*Since PABLO PICASSO is my favorite artist of all time
..........Reply #1 contains many links to his artworks.
*Since FREDERIC EDWIN CHURCH is my favorite American
landscape artist of all time
..........Reply #2 contains many links to his artworks.
All other replies with links to artworks by any other
artist will not be announced in advance.
Be sure to click on the image for awesome enlargement.
Click on the 'enlargement' to put image back in it's original state
....( it's a bit fuzzy though ). So, right-click your mouse and select
"Refresh' as the menu pops out to put image back in sharp focus.
Hope all you members/visitors enjoy
this very different kind of thread.
