For artists such as Sol LeWitt and Félix González-Torres, the conceptual premises behind their artwork required each artist to establish rules and parameters, ensuring that the work is installed accurately every time. In Sol LeWitt's series of wall drawings, the more than 1,200 works are each titled, chronologically by number. Listed after the number, the title includes written installation instructions that must be followed in order to make an authentic Sol LeWitt wall drawing.

In his series of endless multiples, Félix González-Torres created provisional sculptures that depend equally on audience participation and museum cooperation in order to complete their Sisyphean cycles of depletion and renewal. The endless multiples are photographic images, offset printed on paper and stacked in the gallery as a minimal sculpture. Viewers may decide to lessen the stack by taking a print with them, while the museum is responsible for printing more copies, ostensibly unending.
