Conceptual Art and Christine Kozlov

When Christine Kozlov graduated from art school in New York in 1967, she was already at the heart of a bold new movement known as Conceptual Art. This exhibition invites you to explore Kozlov’s creative journey from the mid-1960s through the late 1970s, featuring her own groundbreaking work alongside pieces by the close circle of friends and fellow artists who shared her vision.

Conceptual Art was a radical shift in the art world. Moving away from the flashy styles of the time, these artists began to value the power of an idea more than the physical object itself. They swapped traditional paints and canvases for everyday items like office supplies, photocopies, typewriters, and sound recorders, turning information and daily life into something thought-provoking. It was a movement fueled by a spirit of protest and a desire to challenge the status quo. Christine was a key figure in this scene, even helping to organize the major group exhibitions that defined the era. We are proud to bring together nearly all of the works Kozlov contributed to those original shows, offering a unique look at a transformative moment in art history.
