Quote by Jerry Saltz
'Summer of Love: Art of the Psychedelic Era,' the Whitney Museum's 40th-anniversary trip down counterculture memory lane, provides moments of buzzy fun, but it'll leave you only comfortably numb. For starters, it may be the whitest, straightest, most conservative show seen in a New York museum since psychedelia was new.
Summary
This quote highlights the disappointment that the "Summer of Love: Art of the Psychedelic Era" exhibit at the Whitney Museum fails to live up to its counterculture theme. It criticizes the show for lacking diversity and for catering to a predominantly white, heterosexual, and conservative audience. The quote suggests that the exhibit falls short of capturing the true essence and radical spirit of the psychedelic era, resulting in a somewhat mundane and underwhelming experience.
