Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Art critic and artist Robert C. Morgan proposes that the Postmodernism popular in the 1980s failed to address, and even misrepresented and suppressed, conceptual art while marketing the notion of "Neo- conceptualism," a concept the author rejects as insignificant for advanced art. He argues instead that it is in the tension between Modernism and Conceptual Art that vitality in art was in the 1980s, and is still, found. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
