Sixties Surreal is one of the current exhibits at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York. The Whitney describes the exhibit as an “efflorescence of psychosexual, fantastical, and revolutionary tendencies.” (Say what?) The exhibit is way more interesting than that.

What a selection! Admire so much the powerful, thought-provoking messages delivered through artistic expression. Also appreciated the humor in the piece titled “Give Me Anything and I’ll Sign It.” Made me laugh out loud.

Definitely looks like a very interesting exhibit and one you wouldn’t go through quickly. Lots to think about in the pieces.
