In the conceptual era (1966 – 1973) artists radically challenged how ideas and information could be produced, presented and disseminated using exhibition catalogues, periodicals and printed ephemera that supported, accompanied, and on some occasions, entirely replaced traditional exhibitions in museums and galleries. This thesis will ask if the ‘pieces of paper’ contributed by artists for publication in these inexpensive, mass-produced and widely accessible forms can ‘come up for the count’ as ‘documents as artworks’ according to the intentions of artists, and the attitudes of exhibition organisers and collectors.
