For other uses, see Dematerialization (disambiguation).

Dematerialization of the art object is an idea in conceptual art defined as the ideas and concepts behind a work is primary and the material form is secondary. In "Six Years: The Dematerialization of the Art Object" Lucy L. Lippard characterizes the period of 1966 to 1972 as one in which the art object was dematerialised and de-centered through the new artistic practices of conceptual art.
