The Artform and Architecture The Art of the 1960s

John Lobell, M. Arch., Professor at Pratt Institute

The 1960s was a period of rebellion against the conformist 1950s: psychedelics, rock, protest, the sexual revolution, feminism, ecology and New Age thought announced a new world. The art that emerged in the 1960s, from the Minimalism of Stella, Poons and Judd, to the Pop Art of Warhol, Oldenburg and Lichtenstein, the performance art of James Lee Byars and Ana Mendieta and the vast array of other movements (Arte Povera, Conceptual art, Earth Art, Environmental Art, Op Art, Psychedelic Art, Women in Art, etc.) was like nothing that had happened before, and underlies our art to this day.

This presentation is part of John Lobell's The Artform of Architecture series.
