It covers the period of late the 1960s till the early 1980s. In order to describe the main features of conceptual art, the author used as examples the works of chosen American and European artists (for e.g. the selected work of Sol LeWitt, Joseph Kosuth, Art and Language, Lawrence Weiner, Bruce Nauman, John Baldessari, Bernd Becher and Hilla Becher, Victor Burgin, Hans Haacke, Dan Graham, Daniel Buren, Marcel Broodthaers.)
