A person who believes in conceptualism or practices conceptual art, prioritizing ideas over traditional forms.
Conceptual (from concept) plus -ist (suffix meaning 'one who practices'). Emerged in the 1960s to describe artists who rejected conventional art-making in favor of exploring pure concepts.
Famous conceptualists like Sol LeWitt said 'the idea is the machine' and would leave instructions for others to execute their artwork, making them creators of thoughts rather than objects!
