What is the meaning of Conceptual art?

The meaning of Conceptual art is that it is a form of art focused on conveying a message. Conceptual artists produce works where the underlying concept is more important than the piece itself. The art form emerged during the 1960s, but Marcel Duchamp usually receives credit for producing the first conceptual artwork, Fountain, a sculpture he unveiled in 1917.
