Terry Smith writes about the history of Conceptual Art as its participant and observer-and his book produces a stereoscopic image of the movement that is fascinating and persuasive. According to Smith, Conceptual Art has transformed itself into the global conceptualism that is still contemporary. This book should be read by everybody who became tired by the simplistic opposition between global and local and looks for the ways to overcome it. -- Boris Groys, author of In the Flow Scholars, critics, artists, and students concerned with the legacy of conceptual art in the present-particularly those focused on its development as a kind of global lingua franca for contemporary art-will welcome the publication of this tremendous book. -- Blake Stimson, author of Citizen Warhol
