Neogeo (art)

Neo-geo or Neo-Geometric Conceptualism was an art movement from the 1980s that utilizes geometric abstraction and criticizes the industrialism and consumerism of modern society.

[1] The usage of the term neo-geo began when it was first used in reference to a 1986 exhibition at the Sonnabend Gallery in SoHo that included the artwork of Ashley Bickerton, Jeff Koons, Peter Halley and Meyer Vaisman.

[3] Art historian and curator Amy L. Brandt provided the first comprehensive survey of neogeo artists that included Sherrie Levine, Allan McCollum, Haim Steinbach, Jeff Koons, Peter Halley, Ashley Bickerton, and Meyer Vaisman.

Other topics covered include East Village culture in the 1980s and the influence of postwar French theory.

Brandt connected each artists' works to Pop Art, Minimalism, Neo-minimalism, Conceptualism, and the Pictures Generation group.
