Sixties Surreal: new exhibition offers an alternative view of the decade

The Whitney Museum in New York has launched a new exhibition titled 'Sixties Surreal,' which seeks to shed light on the lesser-known artistic movements of the 1960s. While the decade is often dominated by figures like Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein, this exhibition introduces a fresh perspective by showcasing a new group of artists who contributed to the era's diverse artistic landscape. This matters because it challenges the conventional narrative of 60s art, encouraging visitors to explore a broader range of influences and styles that shaped the decade.
