In conceptual art the idea or concept is the most important aspect<br />

<strong>of</strong> the work…. If the artist carries through his idea and makes it into<br />

visible form, then all the steps in the process are <strong>of</strong> importance.<br />

The idea itself, even if not made visible, is as much a work <strong>of</strong> art<br />

as any finished product. All intervening steps—scribbles, sketches,<br />

<strong>drawing</strong>s, failed works, models, studies, thoughts conversations—<br />

are <strong>of</strong> interest. Those that show the thought process <strong>of</strong> the artist<br />

are sometimes more interesting than the final product.<br />
