In fact, his 1966 show ‘Working Drawings And Other Visible Things On Paper Not Necessarily Meant To Be Viewed As Art’ which featured his friends working drawings photocopied into binders and placed on four pedestals, is considered by many to be a defining moment in the movement of conceptual art, and was recreated over three decades later.
