| Strange Brew: The 1960s |
| Albright-Knox Art Gallery Associate Curator Holly E. Hughes will install a selection of works from the Gallerys Permanent Collection in the Clifton Hall Link focusing on an era that produced some of the most culturally responsive imagery in American history. The art that sprang from the 1960s counterculture, which fuses elements of surrealism and pop art with swirling patterns, neon colors, repeated motifs, and bizarre iconography, speaks to a wide range of social, political, and spiritual themes. The exhibition will feature works by artists Werner Philips, Larry Slezak, and William Weege, among others. |
