Abstract This chapter explores museum practice and the curatorial management of Joseph Kosuth’s Glass (one and three) with a special focus on material evidence. The installation history of the work will be analysed and different reinstallation strategies will be considered and questioned in order to gain perspective on curatorial and conservation practice. This material-based research encourages reflection on the role of the art conservator in the interpretation and display of conceptual art.
