Conceptual art uses a preconceived idea that is then created, often with the use of materials such as photographs, maps and videos. Emerging as a movement during the mid 1960's, conceptual art was though by some to be a reaction against formalism. Also known as idea art, the idea behind the art is often more important than the finished piece.
