SynopsisSummer of Love will be the first definitive guide to the Art of the Psychedelic era. Richly illustrated, the book presents a unique range of images of works of art, alongside a wealth of contextual material and a number of informative, authoritative yet accessible essays. Covering a wide range of issues, they reflect the pervasive penetration of the art and culture of the 1960s by the aesthetics of psychedelia. At the same time, the catalogue will provide the historical context in which the art was created, an era marked by political protest, the counterculture, recreational drug use, student revolution and sexual liberation. The international list of contributors will include leading academics, cultural theorists, and critics from the worlds of art, film and rock music. The publication's design will mirror the colourful and experimental spirit of the times. Including works from the United States, the UK, Europe and beyond, the book is targeted at an international audience and will serve as a much needed critical re-evaluation of this era in art and cultural history. Accompanies a major exhibition at Tate Liverpool, Summer 2005., Colorful, thought-provoking, eclectic, and readable, "Summer of Love" is the definitive guide to the art of the psychedelic era. Richly illustrated, the book presents a wide range of images of artworks, including posters, record covers, photography, and film, alongside a wealth of contextual material and a number of informative essays by leading academics, cultural theorists, and critics. Moving beyond nostalgia to cover a wide range of issues, the contributors examine the profound influence of the aesthetics of psychedelia on the art and culture of the 1960s and later. At the same time, the book explores the historical context in which this vibrant art was created, an era marked by political protest, recreational drug use, student revolution, and sexual liberation. The artists featured include major figures such as Andy Warhol, Robert Indiana, and Yayoi Kusama as well as long-neglected artists and designers. "Summer of Love" serves as a much-needed critical reevaluation of this fascinating era in art and cultural history.
