  • Notes:
    According to their long-term dealer Nicholas Logsdail of the Lisson Gallery, the collaborative group Art & Language were the inventors of conceptual art. Founded in 1967 by four artists who were teaching art theory in Coventry. Since then, the group has expanded to include nearly 50 members. The earliest works, produced in the 1960s, are text-based, philosophical musings about art, its function and meaning. New group members in the 70s and 80s meant that the group's output took on several different forms before branching out into painting where it currently remains. Art & Language featured prominently in a reassessment of British conceptual art in an exhibition held at Tate Modern, in London 2016, where they were credited with being a significant force within this previously undeveloped area of British Post War conceptual practice.
