H.C. Westermann Memorial to the Idea of Man if He Was an Idea Postcard

Sale price$4.00
This Whitney Shop exclusive postcard was produced on the occasion of the Sixties Surreal exhibition, and features H. C. Westermann’s Memorial to the Idea of Man if He Was an Idea (1958). The show is an ambitious, scholarly reappraisal of American art from 1958 to 1972, encompassing the work of more than 100 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.
