The De-materialization of the Art Object

Explore how the political and social atmosphere of the 1960s encouraged artists to expand the boundaries of art into events and happenings and performance art. These movements were initially encouraged by what critic Lucy Lippard called “the dematerialization of the art object,” which emphasized art as an expressive cultural form, rather than an object to be bought or sold. Stress the integral element of the artist as subject matter in this form of art. What do you believe is more important in a work of art, the object or the idea? Be sure to cite relevant examples of works of art discussed in your text to support your argument.
