Join us for a tour of Sixties Surreal, an ambitious reappraisal of American art from 1958 to 1972, encompassing the work of more than one hundred artists.
This revisionist survey looks beyond now canonical movements to focus instead on the era’s most fundamental, if underrecognized, aesthetic current—an efflorescence of psychosexual, fantastical, and revolutionary tendencies undergirded by the imprint of historical Surrealism and its broad dissemination.
These after-hours tours offer a fifty-minute overview of select works with Whitney Educators. Following the tour, we invite you to enjoy a light reception alongside fellow members. There are multiple date and time options for this event.
