Hippies + Art = Hippie Art.
Do you like Hippies? Do you like their "art"? Love it or hate it, you can op it at The Whitney through September 16th.
The exhibition is boringly called, Summer of Love: Art of the Psychedelic Era. It is, however, an excellent collection of surprisingly varied periodwork. Much of it is familiar; original Sgt. Pepper album covers, Warhol screens, famous Stones' photography, etc... But alot isn't, such as framed sheets of acid, bizzarro anti-sunglasses, and stained-glass mosaics. If you're a designer, you're really in for a treat because on display is a massive collection of original concert posters and flyers.
An oddball sculpture by Yayoi Kusama was probably my favorite, as were the photographs of Elliott Landy.
Hiding in the basement was an interesting exhibit by Taryn Simon. All with retarded tigers and shit. But, unfortunately for you, it's gone. Looks like you can commodify it here.
