Summary
In the heady and hallucinogenic days of the 1960s and 1970s, a diverse range of artists and creative individuals based in the American West broke the barriers between art and lifestyle and embraced the new, hybrid sensibilities of the countercultural movement. This book elaborates the historical and artistic significance of these counterculture projects within the broader narrative of postwar American art, which skews heavily toward New York's avant-garde art scene.
